| Abstract: | Exacum bicolor Roxb. is a perennial herb
with attractive flowers and medicinal properties. The plant is endemic to
Peninsular India and now it is placed under endangered species. Its ornamental
value and medicinal properties are yet to be fully exploited; non-lodging nature
of plant, bi-coloured flower bunches with a long
flowering period and good field life offer great future for this plant. In
present paper field observations and cultivation trials on this plant are
reported for its proper utilization, conservation and cultivation as a beautiful
medicinal herb in tropical regions. |
