Abstract
Twenty one plant species of coastal sand binder were examined for vesi cular absuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) association. Only 14 species showed mycorrhizal colonization. VAM colonization ranged from 20 to 85%. The VAM species were Acaulospora longula, Gigaspora albida, Gi. gigantea, Glomus clarum, G. claroideum, G. intraradices, G. occultum, G. pustul atum, Sclerocystis pachycaulis and S. microcarpus.
