Plants of genus  Scaevola  (family,  Goodeniaceae ), commonly known as “fan flowers,” are mostly endemic to Australia. Commercially popular species are  Scaevola aemula ,  S. albida ,  S. striata , and  S. phlebopetala.  These plants are used as ground covers in Australia and as hanging baskets, window boxes, and garden bed plants in Europe and America. Two aspects of in vitro culture of  Scaevola  are reported here; micropropagation and direct shoot regeneration. A number of commercially available cultivars of  S. aemula ,  S. phlebopetala, S. striata  and wild-collected  S. phlebopetala,   S. glandulifera, S. hookeri , and  S. ramonissima  were used for micropropagation experiments. Micropropagation medium contained salts, vitamins,  L -cysteine, sucrose, and agar. Tissue-cultured shoots were rooted in hormone-free medium. A high survival percentage (&gt;95%) was obtained when plants were transferred to soil under glasshouse conditions. Results on in vitro shoot induction and regeneration response of leaf, stem, root, node, and flower explants of two horticulturally important species of the Australian fan flower,  Scaevola aemula  and  Scaevola striata  arealso presented. Of all the explants tested, node explants of these species were the first to respond in tissue culture. Maximum number of shoot induction and regeneration was achieved from node explants of  Scaevola aemula  and node and stem explants of  Scaevola striata . More than 95% of the regenerated shoots were rooted on the medium supplemented with 4 mg/L of IBA. The significance of above findings in assisting breeding program for new horticultural desirable cultivars of Australian fan flowers will be discussed.
