Present study deals with the variation pattern among the populations of Podophyllum hexandrun L. Both intra-as well as inter population variation mainly in hight of plants, length of internodes, length of petioles, leaf incision, margins and pubescence, length of pedicels, colour of flowers, size of fruits and number of seeds have been observed. Some of these variations are continuous and unstable. The variety P. hexandrum var. jaeschkei has been reduced here as synonym under P. hexandrum for the first time.

Abstract


Present study deals with the variation pattern among the populations of Podophyllum hexandrun L. Both intra-as well as inter population variation mainly in hight of plants, length of internodes, length of petioles, leaf incision, margins and pubescence, length of pedicels, colour of flowers, size of fruits and number of seeds have been observed. Some of these variations are continuous and unstable. The variety P. hexandrum var. jaeschkei has been reduced here as synonym under P. hexandrum for the first time.
