Effective rooting failed to take place under normal circumstances. However the exogenous application of growth hormones, viz., IAA, IBA and NAA had a pronounced impact on rooting percentage in Plectranthus rugosus, Lonicera quinquelocularis and Coriaria nepalensis with the application of growth hormones. Of all the auxins under study IBA had shown maximum per cent success in rooting while IAA and NAA were significantly superior over control.
