Abstract

The diversity of plant species that have the potential to be a food source in the coastal area of Tomini Bay can be seen from variations in their morphological forms and uses. Food source plants are very effective for consumption by people in the Tomini Bay coastal area, both as staple food and additional food. This research aims to determine the morphological characteristics and benefits of the morphological organs of food source plants in the coastal area of Tomini Bay. The research was conducted in locations directly adjacent to the waters of Tomini Bay in Gorontalo Province, namely in Botubarani Village, Bone District and Biluhu Village, Batudaa Pantai District. The method used is the exploration and interview method. Morphological data was collected by recording all the morphological characters of food source plants found at the research location. Data collection on the use of plant food sources was carried out using unstructured interviews with local communities. The research results obtained 31 types of food source plants which are members of the families poaceae, aracaceae, zingiberaceae, convolvulaceae, euphorbiaceae, liliaceae, amaranthaceae, solanaceae, punicaceae, myrtaceae, rutaceae, fabaceae, malvacae, lamiaceace, annonaceae, pandanaceae, musaceae, moraceae, caricaceae, annonaceae and is categorized into groups of cereals, tubers and fruit and vegetables, both those that have been cultivated by the community in gardens and yards and those that grow wild.
