Abstract
Attempts have been made to reveal the survival strategies of the two forms ofTrianthema portulacastrum. These morphs, vizrubra andflava, do not show any remarkable difference in their morphology, phenology and water relations. Metabolically,rubra form is more hardy thanflava form, because of lesser water loss, higher water retention capacity, high protein content and higher levels of proline accumulation at different stages of plant growth. Seed germination studies revealed the presence of hard seed coatedness in both morphs, being more in theflava form.
