Abstract:

Schumannianthus dichotoma (Family-
Marantaceae), locally known as patipata, is cultivated
in water logged and swampy lands over the
greater part of Bangladesh. Plantations of S.
dichotoma are established using rhizomes
(Mohiuddin and Rashid 1988, Rashid et al. 1993).
Attempts have been made at Bangladesh Forest
Research Institute (BFRI), Chittagong to raise seedlings
of this species from fruits which are available
free of cost as they have no utility. This paper
describes the method of nursery development
from collection of fruits to raising of seedlings in
polybags.
