Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the distribution, morphological characteristics, and plant kinship of kepel (Stelechocarpus burahol (Bl.) Hook. f. & Thomson.) Which grew in Kulon Progo district. This research was conducted in Kulon Progo district, UMY in Vitro Culture Laboratory, and UMY soil laboratory conducted in December 2018 to February 2019.
