The morphology of naphthalene and anthracene crystals has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. A connected net analysis shows that the faces {011} and {2-1-1} contain a pair of symmetry-related connected nets giving rise to a new phenomenon called symmetry roughening. Experimentally the {011} and {2-1-1} faces have only been observed on naphthalene crystals grown from the vapor at very low driving forces. Upon increasing the driving force, the {011} faces grow out very rapidly as flat faces at very low supersaturation, For anthracene these faces have never been observed. In this paper the relation between the connected net structure of crystal faces and the experimentally observed growth behavior is discussed.
