Urb., a clonal perennial herb, grows abundantly on a wide range of habitats in Meghalaya and reproduces both through vegetative and sexual means. The paper presents the competitive interaction between the populations ofCentella asiatica raised from stem cuttings and seedlings, designated as ‘Cc' and ‘Cs' respectively. The two categories of plants showed significant differences in growth performance. The numbers of stolons and seeds produced by ‘Cc' were greater than by ‘Cs' in both monoculture and mixtures. The total leaf area and dry matter yield of ‘Cc' were greater in monoculture than in mixtures, while the reverse was true with ‘Cs'. A comparison of the two categories of plants in monoculture and mixtures reveals that with increased proportion (75%) of Cs in mixture, the yield of Cc increased while the yield of Cs decreased in mixed populations having 75% Cc, thus depicting the competitive superiority of Cc over Cs. The relative yield ratio of Cc to Cs which was greater than unity also confirms that population ofCentella asiatica raised from the stem cuttings is more competitive than that developing from the seedings.
