Biodiversitas 25: 1201-1213. Indonesia stands as a global biodiversity hub, boasting an exceptional richness that earns it distinction being mega-biodiversity country. Among its diverse ecosystems, Rutaceae family holds significance, encompassing numerous genera, notably Citrus genus, which showcases splendid array plants. This research aimed to determine relationships characters seven (Citrus reticulata var. Chokun, C. Fremont, Santang, Dekopon, aurantium variegata, aurantium, limon) in Parongpong District, West Bandung Regency, Java. method used this was explorative with purposive sampling. study collected three samples for respective character observations leaf morphology, anatomy, fruit morphology. Morphology anatomy were conducted Department Biology, Padjadjaran University laboratory. description data obtained from each orange plant then analyzed using NTSYS PC version 2.11a software obtain similarity values dendrogram analysis method. Phenetic produced divided into 2 main branches, branch I II, coefficient 0.3846. Branch consists Chokun Chokun), Fremont (C. cv.

A standardized dataset will facilitate detailed exploration of plant distribution patterns and dynamics for botanists, ecologists, conservation biologists, biogeographers. However, integrating data from different sources types is challenging, which hinders the study diversity. This article focuses on application a gridded system in multidimensional environmental factors western China. The proposes vector integration method, combining grid-based techniques with vectorization to integrate diverse multiple into grids same scale. methodology implemented using example China, creating comprehensive 1°×1° database that includes information factor data.
