Abstract

To determine the frequency of flowering, viable seed production and other phenological phenomena of Zhumeria majdae under varing site condition (elevation and latitude) about 10 shrubs, of mature age and with the well developed crown were selected and numbered at each site. All sites were visited once a week during two years. These sites were Geno (800 m above sea level ), Sarchahan (1100 m above sea level ) and Tang-e-zagh (1400 m above sea level ) mountains. The beginning of vegetative growth was 3-20 February. The starting of generative growth was 11-27 March and the beginning of seed falling was 4-22 May. The results showed that the phenological stages of  Zhumeria majdae varies according to altitude. In Geno areas vegetative regrowth begins on 1-5 February while with increasing  of altitude (1400 m above sea level) regrowth occurs in 20-25 February and vegetative duration is elongated.
