Abstract
Persicaria glabra, Juncellus alopecuroides, Alternanthera philoxeroides, Hygrophila shoolis are common macrophytes in India. However the present understandings of the life history of the macrophytes have been insufficient to explain their seasonal abundances. Thus it is essential to investigate how many reproductive strategies were likely been employed by contribute to the successful propagation. In the present work vegetative reproduction diversity of macrophytes were observed and studied systematically by stem cutting. It was indicated that the variety of the reproductive ways and the large quantity of reproductive units produced depend on the stem cuttings. Aquatic macrophytes can serve as useful indicator
