A variation was observed in germination percent, mean daily germination, peak value, germination energy and germination value and seed growth parameters (capsule/seed length, capsule/seed width and seed weight) of two states. The seeds from Uttarakhand found better as per selected parameters in comparison to the seeds from Uttar Pradesh.
