Abstract

This research was conducted to find out the type of dicotyledon which its stem can be sectioned with the method of hand section (HS) and can provide clear anatomy appearances. Research activities start with (1) section using the HS method, (2) observation using a microscope, and the last is (3) limited trial. For the first stage, it was determined that 10 cosmopolitan dicotyledonous found around Universitas Negeri Makassar campus. The stems of all the plants were sectioned by the HS method. The result is 5 of 10 species of dicots were categorized as easy to slash by HS method, namely Ixora maxima, Eclipta prostate, Mirabilis jalapa, Catharanthus roseus and Acalypha siamensis. In the second stage, the five plant species were sections and observed with a microscope. Based on observations using the monocular XSP-12 light microscope adjusted by Optilab Professional Edition, it can be seen that there are 4 plant species that provide the good anatomical appearance that is E. prostate, M. jalapa, C. roseus, and A. siamensis. For the last stage, all four types of plants that provide a good cross-section of the stem anatomy were tested to final semester students and new students. Both groups tried on sectioning and observing and gave their opinion on the level of difficulties. The answer shows that the majority of the groups consider that sectioning and observing of the four dicots are easy or very easy. To sum up, dicots E. prostate, M. jalapa, C. roseus, and A. siamensis are easy to section by HS method and to observe by microscope.
