I have one E. perrieri beginning to grow on 1/2 strength MS with 1µl/L BA. It's too early to tell if its going to germinate normally or grow callus, I have had both happen depending on the species and medium. If they germinate fairly normally, then they are easy to deal with but if they grow callus then it can be hard to regenerate plants.
