Abstract

The benefits of ornamental plants are not only for aesthetic values but also for cooling down its environmental temperature. This cooling effect is due to the transpiration rate. The transpiration rate is influenced by the stomatal number and size. This study aimed to measure the stomatal number and size of monocotyledon plants. The method used factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The main treatment factors were six monocotyledon plant species and three plant parts namely top, middle, and bottom plant parts, and a combination of the treatments was between the two with five replications. The data were analyzed using SAS with the model of factorial CRD and if the treatments were significant it was followed by LSD test. Plant species, plant parts, and the combination between the two significantly influenced on stomatal number and size. Cordyline fruticosa had the highest stomata number (340) significantly compared to others while Rhoeo discolor had the lowest one (30). However, Rhoeo discolor had the largest stomatal size (2285,7 μm) significantly compared to others while Cordyline fruticosa had the smallest (114,1 μm). Top plant parts had the highest stomatal number (172) significantly compared to the middle (141) and bottom parts (138). The stomatal number correlated inversely with stomatal size both in plant species and plant parts.
