Abstract: Abstract: Kummerowia stipulacea was good garden ground cover plant,its propagation mode mainly in sowing , but hard rate of its seeds was very high , seriously effected absorption and germination of seeds . In the treatment, the seeds were sooked by H2SO4, simultaneously soaked in hot water and mechanical abrasion with coarse sand . The results showed that the best result was obtained in trial when the concentrated sulfuricacid was used for 6 minutes and the seeds soaked in hot water under 60℃ for 10 min, the germination percentages were recorded at 93.33% and 94.67% .
