Hanjeli is one of the alternative food crops that are high in nutrients, healthful, easy to grow, and adaptable a wide range environmental circumstances. Due limited understanding people who believe wild plant or weed, usage this commodity still quite low Indonesia. To save prevent loss genetic resources, it vital study, inventory, characterize so breeders can use create greater varieties future. The goals study to: (1) learn about existence types plants West Sumatra Province; (2) collect germplasm; (3) morphological diversity level similarity as starting point for germplasm conservation Sumatra. This took place four districts/cities Province from June November 2021. carried out using survey method with purposive sampling. NTSYSpc2.02i application used present data descriptively analysis. 69 accessions were discovered throughout exploration process. grows between 6 1575 meters above sea thrive variety environments, including arid ground regions near water sources (starting on outskirts streams edges rice fields).
