This study was completed activity to investigate the conversion potential of Ternstroemia cameroonensis a critically endangered curative plant in the Lebialem Highlands, Cameroon by seeds, stem cutting and marcotting. An effort in plant propagation is very appropriate in the present epoch forest management and routine practice to produce reasonable seedlings for the forest conversion and conservation. There is scarcity need of information regarding the procreation of T. cameroonensis. Air dried children were subjected to abrasion accompanying sand paper, saturated in hot water at 100 0C and 98% concentrated sulphuric acid at differing duration. In addition, stem cutting and marcotts were rooted using artificial hormones indole acetic acid and indole butyric acid in addition to alternative sources (top part of an animate body water and honey). Seeds pre-treated accompanying 98% concentrated sulphuric acid for 1 minute (T21), 3 record (T22) had the shortest latent ending of 43.6 and 41.25 days respectively. There was a important difference in the germination allotment, with beginning soaked in 98% condensed sulphuric acid for 3 minutes (T22) having the best germination portion (20%) followed by those soaked in 98% intense sulphuric acid for 6 minutes (T23) accompanying 12.22%. Early growth performances of seedlings were not important. All seeds bear hardship abrasion accompanying sand paper and those soaked in a jam at various durations abandoned to germinate.The best survival portion of stem cuttings was in top part of an animate body water (28.7%) followed by IBA (22.75%). Stem cuttings accompanying 50% leaf area had highest in rank survival allotment (34.9%) compared to others. Low concentrations of IBA (0.5 g/l and 0.2g/l) and drenching in CW for 4 h had the best efficiency. Marcotts had an overall survival percentage of 35.41%. Those settled at the middle of the crown had the chief survival percentage (15.27%) attended by those at the lower position (11.80 %). Also marcotts established on arms with larger width (4-6 cm) and shorter time (50 cm) had the highest endurance percentage (20.13 and 19.44 respectively). Again marcotts medicated with IBA and CW had highest in rank performance compared to different pre-treatments. According to the result, T. cameroonensis maybe amenable by seed and herbaceous though not sustainable.
