Abstract

This article deals with the propagation of endangered but economically valuable gymnospermic plant species, Taxus baccata L. Taxol; an antitumor agent is prepared from the extracted material, both leaves and stem resin of it. Vegetative propagation was done by cuttings. The twigs were taken in Madimulkhark of Sankhuwasabha district and put in the bed for rooting without any chemical treatments. Independent experiments were conducted in two seasons i.e, February-March and May-June. The latter season was found suitable for emergence of young twigs.
