In vitro shoots proliferated from shoot tip explants on MS medium supplemented with various concentrations of BAP, KN & TDZ and rooting of individual shoots occurred on MS medium supplemented with various concentration of IBA, IAA & NAA in Stachytarpheta jamaicensis L. Vahl. Maximum number of shoots & longest shoot length (cm) (1.96  0.17) & (2.34 0.16) respectively, were produced on MS + TDZ (0.5mg/L), after 4 weeks of culture. Maximum number of roots and longest root length (cm) (2.67  0.88) & (3.33  0.33) respectively, were produced on MS + IBA (0.5 mg/L), after 4 weeks of culture. The rooted plantlets (R1) were acclimatized in green house for 4 weeks and then transferred to field conditions with 69% survivability. RAPD primer OPE-20 banding pattern of R1 plantlets was similar to that of mother plant.
