Abstract

An interesting observation was made when the flowering phylloclade of Cereus peruvianus Mill. was cut and put in water for few days then the oldest bud developed into the flower while all the other younger buds get ceased. Such type of observation tends to generate a curiosity in the plant developmental studies citing the utmost effort made by the plant to continue and complete the reproductive growth.Keywords: Flowering, Cereus peruvianus, stressfulCite this ArticleS.A.
