Chloroplast rbcL gene has been found to be more reliable for L. mackliniae Volume No. Online & Print identification and sequence has been reported to NCBI. This is the first time 10(2013) report from the Manipur and India. The adaptability of the plant outside Page No. natural habita has also been enumerated here. 01 to 08 KEY WORD: Lilium mackliniae, Imphal Valley, Genbank, Accession nNumber, RBCL, MATK ,ITS2 Primers.
