Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is widely used as traditional medicine, kitchen spice, and natural dyes in Indonesia. The demand popularity of this plant increasing; however, the national supply still low. breeding crop improvement Indonesia are needed to boost turmeric production. Exploration from various areas a prior step breeding. Phenotypic diversity relationship analysis an early population can be basis for consideration development programs. purpose study was estimate phenotypic local accessions Raw data conducted after standardization using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Hierarchical Clustering (HCA) determine among newly collected genetic resources. article showed broad with height, number shoots, leaves on main shoot, petiole length, lamina width, mother rhizome, total rhizome weight, weight per pseudostem habit, leaf margin, habit distinguishing traits collection. PCA also resulted cumulative variation percentage 70.73%. In addition, HCA two groups Euclidean range 0.31-2.97.
