A protocol was established for rapid in vitro miltiplicatin of Anubias barteri Engler var. undulata. By employing very small tips of actively growing lateral shoots as explants, aseptic cultures were produced without nutrient medium addenda of antibiotics of fungicides. Quiescent buds produced only infected cultures. Cultures were initiated and rapid shoot multiplication was attained in a medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 3% sucrose, 0.8% Sigma Type A agar and in mg 1−1: 10 thiamine HCl, 10 pyridoxine HCl, 5 nicotinic acid, 2 glycine, 100 i-inositol, 0.3 BA (N6-benzyladenine), 0.01 thiadiazuron and 0.1 NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid). Shoots were rooted in small clusters, in a second medium lacking cytokinins. The rooted shoots were readily established as aquarium or greenhouse plants. Based on a steady rate of five-fold proliferation of shoots per month, attained after 7 months following explanting, the projected annual yield of clonal plants by this method is 106 plants per explant. As is commonly observed among many amphibious species, terrestrially and aquatically grown Anubias plants from tissue culture displayed land and submerged forms of foliar morphology.
