P. rotundalifolia is a medicinal plant that is used in Peninsular Malaysia. The leaves and roots are used to treat malaria, fever in children and after child- birth to give strength to mothers. This perennial herb is common in the lowland forest. A study was conducted to document the growth requirement of the plant. The physiological growth and leaf development in different light conditions was studied. It was noted that when grown under very low light intensities the leaf size was larger. The leaf size reduced significantly when planted under partial shades. Besides, light, moist condition is preferred. This paper would prescribe the optimum growth conditions for large scale planting.
