: This is the first successful attempts to acclimatize this species for ex-situ conservation in South Gujarat, India with transplantation of 20 healthy seedlings at 4–6 leave stage. After 6 months of inactive phase, they start blossoming and after one year, they start bearing flowers. Peak flowering was observed during April to July which was nearly opposite to the pattern of its flowering in natural habitat. Initially, the transformation of flowers to mature capsule was very low and restricted to winter months only, however, from third season onwards, the transformation of flowers into mature capsule was observed more indicating comfortable acclimatization of the plant in this regions.
