Abstract

Angelica glauca (Apiaceae), endemic to the Himalaya, is an endangered medicinal herb for which, beside in situ conservation, ex situ cultivation is recommended to overcome poor seed germination that limits natural reproduction in the species. To determine the germination potential of the species, the germination of seeds collected from several populations were measured. Germination in seeds treated with KNO3 and NaHClO3 before sowing was significantly enhanced as compared with untreated controls and reduced the mean germination time under laboratory and nursery conditions.
