AB -	Phenological observation and Conservation of Sophora mollis Royle (Papilionaceae) is discussed. This species is a multipurpose legume distributed in the plains and foothills of N.W. Himalaya to Nepal Himalaya and is facing high risk of extinction due to habitat loss and indiscriminate exploitation by local people for its fuel and fodder values. Phenological observation on ex-situ plants has revealed poor and low percentage of fruit and seed sett. The influence of biotic factors coupled with poor seed setting has badly affected the regeneration and its population in the wild.
