Plant regeneration from C. anyuria var. longipes A. Meeuse and C. metuliferus Naud. leaf explants was investigated. It was found that embryoid-like structures were formed from C. anguria leaf explants cultured on media containing 0.3 mg dm-3 2,4-D and 0.8 mg dm-3 2iP. After being transferred to medium with 0.3 mg dm-3 2iP and 1 mg dm-3 GA3 they developed 187±49 shoots per explant. Further growth and root formation proceeded on hormone free medium.
