Banana is a fruit that is very popular in the community because it is easy to find and available in various types, besides is the price is very affordable, bananas also have a fairly complete nutritional value. One type of banana that is widely used by the community is pisang kepok. Pisang kepok has more diverse cultivars than other types of bananas. These cultivars have different morphological structures, one of which is the flower. Flowers have a role in the breeding of a plant. This study aims to determine the differences in the morphological structure of flowers among the pisang kepok cultivars with each other. The research was carried out in two stages. Frst, field sampling in residential area of Bandar Lampung City, Pesawaran Regency and South Lampung Regency. Second, morphological characterization based on the parameters determined conducted in the Biology Department of the FMIPA Unila Laboratory. The results obtained were cultivar of pisang kepok which had been observed to have almost the same morphological structure except in kepok batu The specific character of pisang kepok batu can be seen in the character of the color of pollen sacs, compound tepal pigmentation, free tepal color, free tepal apex shape and pistil shape.
