| Research Abstract |
In East Sepik of northern Papua New Guinea, folk varieties of sago palm were classified based on size of plant body and the morphological characteristics were reflected as their name. Also in Kevien of New Ireland Island, the name of folk varieties was related with plant characteristics. Moreover, a folk variety that had an apparently thick trunk was found, and this folk variety might be a high yielding variety.
In West Papua on Indonesian territory of island of New Guinea, a tendency of negative relationship between the internode length and diameter breast height was found. The other negative relationship between the internode length and starch concentration in pith was found, which meant folk varieties that shows comparatively higher growth rate may be low yielding varieties.
