Multiple shoots (eight shoots per explant) induction were obtained on MS medium supplemented with 4.0 mg/l BAP and 0.5 mg/l NAA within 10-15 days. The elongated shoots rooted well in half strength MS medium with 0.5 mg/l NAA. The <i>in vitro</i> raised plantlets were acclimatized in glass house and successfully transplanted to field condition with 80 % survival. The results indicated that large scale commercial micropropagation of <i>Rauvolfia serpentina</i> is technically feasible.<i>Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.</i> <b>42</b>(1), 37-44, 2007 ER -
