Analysis of plants found in the spring is calculated relative density, relative frequency, relative dominance and plant value index for each spring. The Ngenep community divides springs into two terms namely springs with the terms "umbulan" and "belik". In Ngenep Village three springs are still maintained because they are springs that have cultural values in the community. Springs are Ngenep, Nyolo and Soko Springs.

This spring is different from other regions in the rural landscape. this spring is a land that is not used for agricultural cultivation or settlement, but is a land that is conserved so that it is relatively natural. Among the plants of this type of tree that have the highest importance index value are the plants of S. pycnanthum, F. annulata, F. benjamina and S. indica. these plants can only be found in the spring area and on the river cliffs.Downloads
