The rhizomes of Curculigo orchioides have been traditionally acclaimed as aphrodisiac. The ethanolic extract of rhizome was evaluated for its effect on spermatogenesis in ethanol induced albino rats. The increased spermatogenesis in treated group was confirmed by change in histoarchitecture as evidenced by an increase in number of spermatocyte and spermatids. These findings support the folk use of this plant as aphrodisiac.
