Plant regeneration was achieved from cells of callus induced from hypocotyl segments of Bauhinia forficata on halfstrength Murashige and Skoog culture medium supplemented with several concentrations of BAP. Within 40 days ofculture shoot buds formation was observed on callus surface. Calli were then transferred to a same compositionculture medium without plant growth regulator in order to induce shoot elongation. Histological studies indicatedthat in vitro plant regeneration in B. forficata occurred through indirect organogenesis. Meristemoids consisting ofsmall cells with dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei were randomly distributed throughout the callus surfaceindicating early stages of shoot bud differentiation. Shoots developed de novo from superficial layers of cells and thepattern of shoot origin and development were very similar to those previously described for other leguminousspecies.
