Abstract

Flowering behavior of Mallotus philippensis was studied in the three forest communities, viz. Sal forest, Teak plantation and Dry miscellaneous forest of Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary. It was observed that though its vegetative performance is well adapted under different conditions of the forest, reproductive behavior was greatly affected by the nature of the forest type. Dry miscellaneous forest was the best habitat for Mallotus philippensis with highest flowering and flowering traits while Teak plantation had lowest.
