An efficient protocol was described for the rapid in vitro multiplication of medicinal plant Boucerosia umbellata via enhanced axillary bud proliferation from nodal explants collected from young shoots of three-month-old field grown plants. Effects of cytokinins 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), Thiadiazuron (TDZ), Kinetin (Kin) and 2-isopentenyl adenine (2iP) individually and in combination have been investigated. MS medium supplemented with BAP (2 mg/l) and TDZ (1 mg/l) gave maximum response for multiple shoot induction with a shoot sprouting frequency of 86% and mean shoot number of 3.9±0.16 per node and 2.04±0.05 cm shoot length. Rooting was best achieved on ½ strength MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) (0.1 mg/l). The regenerated plantlets were successfully established in the garden with 73% survival rate.
