Abstract

Verbascum phoeniceum L. grows on various geological substrates, such as serpenti ne, andesite, dacite and limestone. The specificity of these substrates deterrnines the forrnation of morphologic characteristics, minerai content of the plant organs and biomass production of the plants since they acumulate some metals from geological substrates and soil.
