ABSTRACT
Naravelia zeylanica is a medicinal plant belonging to the family Ranunculaceae. The plant has diverse medicinal values and commonly used to cure rheumatism. In the present investigation in vitro regeneration potentialities were tested using inter nodal explants. Callus derived from the inter nodal explants showed somatic embryogenesis in different hormonal concentrations. MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D, BAP, Kinetin, IAA and NAA alone and in combination showed callusing potential and somatic embryogenesis
