Popis: Embelia ribes Burm. f. is an important, vulnerable, dioecious, woody climber. The fruits of Embelia ribes areused in ayurvedic formulations. The plant usually blooms during January-April and the fruits mature during June-August.Seeds are found to be dormant, so seed germination in the natural condition and rooting from the stem cuttings are verypoor. Effect of pre-germination treatments on freshly harvested seeds of Embelia ribes was carried out. The highest (75%) germination percentage was observed in GA31000 ppm treated seeds.
