This reserach aimed to identify the morphological chracteristics and phylogenetic relationship  of   G. atroviridis and a conservation material in three districts of North Sumatra The research was conducted at Asahan, Batubara and Serdang Berdagai district from Februari to mei 2017 by survey method. G. atroviridis samples founded in three districs were identified and  characterzed based on International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) standard. Sampling technique using accidental sampling. Parameters observed were fruit shape, number of fruit segments, fruit diameters, fruit weight, fruit size, fruit skin thickness, mature fruit colour. The result showed that there were 18 accession of G. atroviridis found in three districts. Morphologycal characteristic of G. atroviridis was  fruit shape (round, flattened, ovoid,). In fruit morphology showed that the 18 accession analyzed were divided into 2 main cluster  on a distance scale of 0,41 with a similarity rate of about 41%.
