摘要：

The role of indicator plants in geobotanical methods of mineral exploration is reviewed. Some 85 species are discussed and a critical examination is made of their probable role in indicating the presence of aluminum boron, cobalt, copper, gold, iron, lead, manganese, nickel, selenium, silver, uranium and zinc. The efficacy of some of the historical plant indicators is questioned and reviewed in the light of more recent findings. It is observed that over a third of all indicator plants belongs to the families Caryophyllaceae (pink family), Labiatae (mint family) and Leguminosae (pea family). © 1979.
