The chlorophyll content and stomatal density in a plant vary greatly determined by plant genetic factors and plant growth environment. The research was aimed for evaluating and determining the chlorophyll content and stomata density of Medan’s local binahong accessions which are lowlands. The research was conducted by survey method, by taking samples of local Medan binahong leaves, then analysed in a laboratory. Based on survey results, 8 accessions of Medan local binahongs have been obtained. The result of the research indicated that the accession of Medan 2 has the highest total chlorophyll content and stomatal density compared to other accessions. The highest of cuticle thickness was found in Medan 7 accession, while the lowest was in Medan 4 accession.
