Abstract
The present paper highlights the morphological parameters of seedling of P. cineraria – a multipurpose tree species of Indian desert. Seedling development was observed for 35 days up to 8th leaf stage. Seed germination was macaranga type. Paracotyledons were opposite, isocotylar, fleshy and persistent up to 7th or 8th leaf stage. Hypocotyl was looped when young and epicotyl was zig-zag and aculeate after second leaf stage. First leaf was uni-pinnate – paripinnate, stipulate with four to six pairs of pinnae whereas second and subsequent leaves were bipinnate – papipinnate, stipulate and alternate. Days and date of appearance of paracotyledons and different leaves and shoot: root length ratio (SRLR) have also been recorded.
