Abstract

Medicinal properties of Ephedra gerardiana Wall. are
well known worldwide especially for production of
high value rare drug Ephedrine. This medicinal plant is
under threat in the Ladakh region because of its
overexploitation for tradition Amchi system of medicine
and the extraction of ephedrine. In the present article,
we recommended it as an ornamental plant for
beautification in cold arid desert region as a
conservation gardening approach. The plant possesses
excellent growth, survival and regeneration traits.
Aesthetic characteristics of the plant, its utilization
and management issues have been discussed in detail.
