Abstract
Daiswa polyphylla (Smith) Raf. is a rare medicinal plant found in the highlands of Thailand. The research findings found that the flower emerged from the middle of a leaf whorl in April to May, bloomed from May to June, then fruit set and seed matured during May to January. The plants entered dormancy from September to January until resuming growth in April of the next growing season. Reproductive biology showed stigma receptive approximately 3-5 weeks after which it dried up. Pollen was 69.68 percent viable at anthesis and remained three percent viable at 33 days after blooming. D. polyphylla fruit took the time to develop approximately 9-28 weeks after flowering. Fruit ripening in 4-18 weeks were found during September to January. All seeds were viable from tetrazolium test, and seed germination from one fruit was approximately 45 percent. The research findings would possible be used for propagation and cultivation of D. polyphylla
