Abstract :
Litsea glutinosa (Lour) C.B. Robinson is a member of family Lauraceae and it is small tree commonly known as Maida lakdi. It is a medicinal plant of immense pharmaceutical value. The species is critically endangered due to its indiscriminate collection as raw material for pharmaceutical industry, where it is used for manufacturing drugs for pain, arousing sexual power and in treatment of diarrhea and dysentery etc. It was distributed throughout Madhya Pradesh but due to over exploitation it becomes endangered now. An attempt has been made for development of in vitro propagation procedure for the species. It is found through in India such as Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhitgarh, Orissa, Western ghat and outer Himalayas. In Madhya Pradesh this species has been reported in Hosangabad, Chhindawara, Anuppur, Mandla Balaghat Satna and Rewa districts in mixed forest areas, along with streams and hilly slopes.
