There is urgent need of Quality planting material (QPM’s) for the plantation of Saraca asoca tree. The study was undertaken for the nursery management. The albinism and polyembryony was noticed first time in the highly demanded medicinal plant Saraca asoca. The study was conducted during, 2008-2009 at Research Farm, College of Forestry, Dapoli (M.S.).
