Abstract

Kaboa (Aegiceras corniculatum) is a plant that lives around mangroves where the distribution pattern varies. Variations in the distribution are spread out or clustered. The study was conducted at Cipalawah and Cibako beaches in Garut Regency, with the aim of finding out the distribution pattern of kaboa (Aegiceras corniculatum). The research method uses descriptive methods. The plot line method with multilevel plots is used to obtain research data. Research data obtained from each location taken by the quadratic method. Where each data obtained from variations in plant diameter. Data on diameter of tree plants (10 cm) was obtained from plots of 10 x 10 m size. Data on diameter of sapling plants (2-10 cm) was obtained from plots with a size of 5 x 5 m. Data on seedling diameter (10 cm) was obtained from a plot of 1x 1 m size. The results showed that the distribution pattern of kaboa (Aegiceras corniculatum) was clustered.
