| Experiment Background | Khati chamol Bauhinia malabarica Roxb., popularly known as Malabar orchid or Mounatain ebony‘ belongs to Fabaceae family is an evergreen or nearly evergreen tree 4-17 m tall and diameter usually up to 50 cm with a short often gnarled bole. It is native to Australia, India,Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand. In India, it is distributed throughout the greater parts except the driest tract receiving less than 500 mm annual rainfall. In the sub-Himalayan tract, it extends from Yamuna eastwards to Assam, ascending up to 600-670 m elevation. It is also found in the central India, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat and in the western Peninsula. B. malabarica occurs in the middle story of South and North Indian moist deciduous forests as well as Northern tropical dry deciduous forests. Bark is rough brown, peeling in linear flakes, fibrous, red inside. Leaves are 1.5-4 inches long, 2-5 inches broad, divided through 1/3 of the length, 7-9 nerved, slightly heart shaped at base, rigidly leathery, glaucous and smooth beneath. Flowers are borne in stalk less racemes in leaf axils, 1.5-2 inches long. Flowers are 1/2 inch long, dull white, often unisexual, on very slender stalks. Male and female flowers are usually on different stems. Sepal cup has five equal triangular teeth. Petals are spade shaped, equal. Pod is 7-12 inches long, 2-2.5 cm broad, on a stalk 1 inches long, flat flexible, many seeded, more or less straight reticulate veins, which starting diagonally from both sutures meet in the middle. It mainly used as fuelwood as well as ethnomedicine purposes. It is considered as vulnerable (Anon., 2008). | ||

➢ Total 20 quadrates of size 20 m x 20 m will be selected randomly in different populations of Bauhinia malabarica at Vyara division, South Gujarat. In each quadrate, five plots of 1 m x1 m (four at the corners and one at the middle) will be laid out for regeneration count. OBSERVATIONS: 1. Name of associated species
