The research method used is a survey method using vegetation analysis. The method of vegetation analysis in this study is a combination of the pathway and checkered line method. The results of the research that have been carried out indicate that the pattern of distribution of the skin in the Bukit Bungkuk Nature Reserve which is located on the three research lines forms a clustered distribution pattern. This is evidenced by the standard morisita degree obtained which shows Ip > 0. Kulim lives on sandy loam soils with a yellowish brown color and an average pH of 4,6 (acid).
