The aim of this experiment was to study in vitro germination and organogenesis of Gongora quinquenervis in two culture media (Knudson "C" and Murashige & Skoog) on three concentrations of BAP (0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 mg L-1). The protocorms cultured on Knudson "C" medium died. The majority of the embryos cultured on the Murashige & Skoog medium formed calli. The calli presented a high morfogenetic potential, regenerating great number of plant through indirect organogenesis, and the treatment without BAP presented the highest regeneration frequency. Few plants were germinated through the normal route, performing a total of 41 plants, which contrasts with the 715 plants regenerated through indirect organogenesis.
