Rheum australe D. Don. Syn R. emodi Wall ex Meissan, locally known as Himalayan rhubarb, rhubarb ischolar_main, belong to family Polygonaceae. R. australe is an endangered medicinal plant species in Indian Himalaya. Study was conducted to evaluate effect performance of IAA, IBA, NAA and GA3 at three concentrations viz., 50, 100 and 200 mg/l on in terms of rate of germination of R. australe seeds. Observations were also recorded on days taken for initiation of germination, seed germination percentage, shoot length of the seedlings and number of leaves per seedling. Significantly higher seed germination was recorded in seeds treated with IBA 200 mg/1 followed by NAA (200 mg/l) and GA3 (l00 and 200 mg/l).Keywords

The present study mainly focuses on the documentation of lianas and climbers in different forest habitat of five districts of Jharkhand viz., Ranchi, East-Singhbhum, Hazaribagh, Chatra, and Latehar during the year 2009-2012. A total of 45 important climbers including 7 lianas were identified and thoroughly observed during study period in which family Fabaceae represented dominant group followed by Cucurbitaceae, Dioscoraceae and Liliaceae.Keywords
