✦ Synopsis

Callus cultures were initiated from zygotic embryos of Encephalartos dyerianus and E. natalensis. Callus of both species were transferred onto a modified B5 medium containing different combinations of 2,4dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and kinetin. Somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis occurred in both species. The embryos were dicotyledonary. To date none of the embryos have matured.
