Popis:	Using the techniques of fractional centrifugation, light and electron microscopy, unique features of the chloroplasts of Callisia fragrans (Linda.) Woods were observed. In size, shape, and in their different stages of development, these chloroplasts were comparable to those described for Lycopersicon, Pelargonium, and Cyhomandra. Callisia chloroplasts differ from others in sedimentation properties and in the relatively high volume of the chloroplast occupied by the thylakoid system. There was almost no stroma. All Callisia chloroplasts were sedimented by a force of 1000g. There were very few fragments. Starch-associated stroma was highly granular and dense in most cases. Plastosomes were not numerous, yet showed unique relationships with thylakoids. Plastoglobuli were observed.
