Abstract

Incarvillea emodi is the only herbaceous member of family Bignoniaceae which is endemic to the Western Himalaya. The species is highly habitat specific and its population is gradually declining from all the reported localities of its occurrence. Since it is having both medicinal and ornamental potential, therefore different propagation protocols have been experimented with for mass scale propagation and conservation of this species.
