ABSTRACT
This research aimed to characterize mango cultivars nformation mango cultivars. The research was held in Rimba Jaya Village, Merauke District, Merauke Regency for five months. The methodology was descriptive by purposive sampling. The samples were observed based on plant origin, stem colour, girth, leaf shape, leaf size, petiole length, fruit size, fruit flesh thickness, fruit flesh colour, fruit flavor, fruit scent, fruit weight and ripe fruit colour, etc. The primary data were retrieved with measuring and observing the mango plant samples. The result indicated that there are 16 accessions of mangoes. Accession 01 have high morphology similarity with Gadoh varieties-343, accession 02 with Arumanis-1 (VIII 42), accession 03 with Li’ar, accession 04 with Roti-415 (III/97), accession 05 with Royal Palm California-223 (VIII/7), accession 06 with Trapang-419 (III/101), accession 07 with Kartikia-449, accession 08 with Salak-417 (III/99), accession 09 with Kopyor-173, accession with Golek-31(I/28), accession 11 with Bapang-13, accession 12 with Golek-33 (I/30), accession 13 with F1-47, accession 14 with Delima-209, accession 15 with Mangga Ayu-287 and accession 16 with Peach (IV/111) varieties.

INTRODUCTION
Papua is not known as its mango production. Most people familiar with Gedong Gincu from Cirebon, Podang from Kediri, and Arumanis from Pasuruan. An official food crops and horticulture Merauke instructor Sherly Colylujur said, in Manokwari and Merauke there are one or two mango trees planted per house. In Manokwari, there are fifteen mango clones. Those mangoes probably brought from Java by the time of Dutch colony (Setyawan, 2013).
According to the Central Bureau of Statistics of Merauke (2011), Merauke district is one of the biggest mango producer after Jagebob, Sota and Tanah Miring district. The data also shows the increasing of harvested mango area, starting from 2006 to year 2010 which are 297,4 ha; 292,5 ha; 313 ha; 340,9 ha; and 357 ha. In reality, this escalation is not accompanied with the maximum commerciality of mango. Mangoes only directly consumed or treated into juice and sweetmeat???. There are also mangoes that generally used as forages because of their low sweet taste. The local people’s lack of desire to optimized commerciality of mangoes, showed the importance of characterization of mango clones in Merauke. The mango clones required to be characterized and evaluated for information and the kinship between clones.
Food Crops and Horticulture Merauke Agency has done several activities to introduce the Merauke local clones. In 2007, Food Crops and Horticulture Garut Agency supported the Semangga district Papua with Arumanis seedlings to enrich the mangoes planting areas (Bahar, 2008). Food Crops and Horticulture Merauke Agency held a mango contest in 2012 for Merauke district community to identify potential local mangoes (Frans, 2012). Research conducted by Oktavianto et. al. (2011) have characterized the Cantek, Ireng, Empok, and Jempol mangoes in Banyakan district Kediri regency. Ribeiro et.al. (2013) have characterized 103 mango accessions of the field of Embrapa semi-arid region in Brazil and resulted eight accessions didn’t show fruits with fibers, nine other presented flesh firmness, which is an important characteristic to improve breeding.
This research aimed to gained characteristic information of mango clones in district Merauke and to know the level of morphology characteristics similarities between mango accessions with mango germplasm.
MATERIAL AND METHOD
The research was held in Rimba Jaya village Merauke regency from September to February 2016. Meters, calipers, scale, red fabric, lup, stationary, plastics for sample containers, plastik sampel, clamp, marker, name label, and a camera.
The method was descriptive and purposive sampling. The mango plants was observed based on the parameters in Horticultural Germplasm Information System (Horticulture
Research and Development Center, 2011), which are : the origin, stem colour, girth, leaf shapes, leaf edge shapes, leaf tip shapes, leaf size, petiole length, colour of the upper leaves, fruit size, stalk length, fruit flesh thickness, fruit flesh colour, fruit flavor, fruit aroma, one fruit weight, and the colour of ripe fruit.
Data retrievals were measurements and direct observations to mango plants as primary data, while interviewing the farmers as secondary data. Data presentation is in tables and figures and the data was analized descriptively.
RESULTS
From survey and interview of the farmers, there are sixteen accessions of mango, which are Air, Telur Kasuari, Pipi Merah, Daging, Telur, Madu, Labu, Arumanis, Udang, Pepaya, Nenas, Golek, Tahi Kuda, NN-1, NN-2 and NN-3 mangoes (Figure 1). The interview result is presented in Table 1. Based on the research of Oktavianto et al. (2011), there are three kinds of mango bark colours which are grayish brown, old gray and black.
RJA-1, RJA-2, RJA-3, RJA-5, RJA-8, RJA-10, RJA-11, RJA-12, RJA-13, and RJA-16 classified into elliptic, narrow and wide leaves (Table 2). Then from the leaves edge observation, there are group of unfoldeded, foldeded and a little foldeded type. The leaves tip and the leaves base observation resulted in two type, there are blunt and pointy type. While the leaf layouts resulted in horizontal or vertical and the leaf surface observation resulted in wavy leaf surface and straight leaf surface. The research of Nilasari et. al. (2013) identified mango leaves morphology diversity of interbreeding Arumanis varieties with Podang Urang resulted 32 clones which have relation with the parent and 12 clones which are from interbreeded clones.
Upper leaves colour observation (Table 2) is determined using the Munsell Leaf Color Chart. RJA-1, RJA-8, and RJA-9 are included to light green (7,5 GY 5/8). RJA-2, RJA-3, RJA-4, RJA-5, RJA-6, RJA-7, RJA-10, RJA-11, RJA-12, RJA-13, RJA-14, RJA-15, and RJA-16 are included to green (5 GY 3/4).
Observation and measurements fruit morphology are presented on Table 3, which the observation of fruit flesh colour from the sixteen accessions showed result of yellow orange, yellow, and orange. This is in accordance with Horticultural Germplasm Information System (HGIS) that there are eight categories of flesh fruit colours, which are yellow orange, brownish yellow, yellow, orange, yellowish white, yellowish green, yellowish orange, light yellow and dark yellow.

Results from Table 3 showed that from fruit scent categories are fragrant, medium, poor, or slight fragrant based on HGIS categories, which are poor, medium, fragrant, slight citrus aroma and citrus aroma. While the observation on fruit taste can be categorized into nine categories, which are sweet sour, very sweet, sour sweet, sweet, tasteless sweet, tasteless, fresh sweet, rough sweet, sour.
Ripe fruit skin colour observation on the sixteen accessions has thirteen varieties based on HGIS, which are green, yellowish red, greenish yellow, red, redish yellow, greenish red, orange yellow, yellowish green, light yellow, orange, yellowish orange, yellow, and greenish orange. The colour of the ripe fruit base categories are green, red, yellow, redish yellow, green orange, light green, yellowish green, yellow orange, greenish orange, greenish yellow, orange, yellowish orange, yellowish red, yellow and dark green. The colour of ripe fruit tip from the sixteen accessions based on HGIS are green, yellowish red, redish yellow, yellow, yellowish green, green orange, yellow orange, yellowish orange and yellowish red.

From the sixteen accessions, RJA-1,RJA-5, RJA-7, RJA-9, RJA-11, RJA-15, and RJA-16 are used as forage because of the high water content, the tasteless or only a little bit sweet flavor and high fiber content. While RJA-2, RJA-3, RJA-4, RJA-6, RJA-8, RJA-10, RJA-12, RJA-13 and RJA-14 are consumed by humans especially because of their sweet flavor and less fiber.
