Mass propagation of patrinia (Patrinia scabiosaefolia Fisch. ex Link.) was achieved by subculturing shoot-sections and divided axillary shoots on MS based medium with cytokinin. A proliferation rate of 2.7 per 17-d culture period was achieved on the medium with 4.4μM benzyladenine (BA) . Shoots elongated from these in vitro-cultured explants could be rooted on the medium with 0.49μM 3-indolebutyric acid (IBA) . Most of plantlets were readily acclimatized in the soil.
