<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the level of botanical literacy among 11th-grade students at SMAN 15 Jakarta. The research employed a survey method using a questionnaire instrument distributed via Google Form, involving 56 students (25 male and 31 female) who had studied botany material within the Biology curriculum. The data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach by classifying scores into botanical literacy categories, calculating frequencies and percentages, and analyzing the relationships between each question indicator to determine the students' level of botanical literacy. The results showed that 15 students (26.79%) were in the Very Low category, 3 students (5.36%) in the Low category, 16 students (28.57%) in the Fair category, 18 students (32.14%) in the High category, and 4 students (7.14%) in the Very High category. Based on the indicators, the General Characteristics of Plants indicator obtained the highest average score (78.57), while the Plant Identification indicator received the lowest average score (28.57). These findings indicate that students have a better understanding of basic plant concepts than the ability to identify plants directly. This research provides an overview of the variation in students' botanical literacy levels and can serve as a foundation for developing more contextual and applicative Biology learning models to enhance comprehension, particularly in the aspects of plant identification and classification.]]>
