Abstract
African bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina Delile) (family Asteraceae) has been reported as a potential medicinal plant for India in view of its use in treatment of multiple diseases. A species of African origin has been found under cultivation in selected pockets of central and eastern India. The aim of this paper is to report genetic resource value of this wonderful medicinal plant and to explore the possibility of cultivation at commercial level as a health supplement. Since this plant is not commonly known in India, botany, propagation methods, attempt on in vitro multiplication and uses are discussed.
