Abstract
The present study deals with the male female flower ratios and quantitative study of floral parts. Jatropha curcus L. had more male-female flower ratio (21.38±0.47:1) than that of Jatropha gossypifolia L. (20.44±0.15:1). In Jatropha curcus L. the male/female flower ratio in the rachis of the inflorescence varied from 17.50:1.08 to 23.75:1.Whereas, in Jatropha gossypifolia L.,the rachis of the inflorescence showed a range of male/female flower ratio varied from 16.67:0.07 to 23.08:0.83. The male and female flowers of Jatropha curcus L. were bigger than those of Jatropha gossypifolia L. The male and female flowers of Jatropha curcus L. was of same length while the male flower of Jatropha gossypifolia L. was smaller than female flower. The investigation revealed the different in male/female flower ratiosignificantly of Jatropha curcus L. and Jatropha gossypifolia L. which seems tocritical for the improvement of Jatropha seed yield
