[Method] With tender stem of Hemistepta lyrata Bunge as material, the conditions needed in calluses induction and differentiation, adventitious bud differentiation and radication, test tube seedling cutting and transplantation were studied. [ Result] The results showed that the optimum medium for granulated calluses induction from tender stem was MS ＋ BA 0.3 mg/L ＋2,4-D 1 -1.5 mg/L, for granulated calluses and adventitious bud differentiation was MS ＋ AgNO31.5 mg/L ＋ BA 0.4 mg/L ＋ NAA 0.1 mg/L. 1/2 MS ＋ IAA 0.6 mg/L was suitable for test tube seedling rooting and regeneration, and cinder was used as transplantation and cutting substrate.
