As part of the study on the propagation profiles and restoration of high economically important plants, five high medicinally important species viz. Tylophora indica (Burm.f) Merr; Ruta graveolensis Linn., Adenia hondala (Gaertn) de wilde, Plumbago auriculata Theenb. and Vitex negundo Linn. were selected for successful clonal multiplication through stem cuttings. In the case of T. indica, R. graveolensis, A. hondala the highest rooting of 85-90% was resulted inside the polytunnel having 65-75% humidity and 28-35ºC temperature. Where as in the case of Plumbago auriculata and V. negundo 80-85% of rooting success could be achieved on the same polytonal conditions. The maximum establishment through stem cuttings recommended as a low cost and viable propagation method for multiplication, subsequent restoration on farm conservation and sustainable utilization of species

River Chittar is a perennial stream that runs along the eastern and southern boundaries of Tropical Botanic Garden & Research Institute situated at Palode, Thiruvananthapuram district. In the year 1997 an ecotaxonomic study was undertaken to analyse the flora in and around this river (approximate length of 25 km) which revealed that the plants recorded fell under 4 divisions, 50 families, 78 genera and 81 species.

The present report is an effort to analyse the above recorded plants in terms of their economic importance, especially with reference to the local communities; it has come to light that 35 plant species including trees, ferns and aquatic angiosperms constituting the river vegetation have innumerable uses which are enumerated  here.
