The agricultural sector comprises various subsectors, including food crops, horticulture, forestry, plantations, livestock, and fisheries. Within the horticulture subsector, segments such as fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, and medicinal plants play a significant role. There is considerable potential for the growth of the horticulture subsector, which is expected to become an important contributor to national income in the coming years. Bukit Kor is one of the agricultural experimental lands handed over by the Government of Terengganu to the University of Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), which focuses on research and developing various types of horticultural crops. Ornamental plants have unique and distinctive shapes intended as decorative elements indoors and outdoors. The ornamental flower survey for this scientific expedition was conducted in September 2023 at Bukit Kor in the highland area of Terengganu, Malaysia. A total of 30 flower species from several families were collected and documented during the exploration. The collected flower plants include paper, telang, purslane, kirisan, and bride's tears flowers. Based on the results of data collection exploration of ornamental plants growing in Bukit Kor land, Terengganu, Malaysia, it can be concluded that there are 30 species of ornamental plants growing in Bukit Kor land, consisting of 17 different families whose growth is dominated by the Nyctaginaceae family with five (5) species (26%).
