Summary

Some 181 small herbarium specimens of 70 species of Rinorea were analysed for cobalt and nickel, with a view to detecting further hyperaccumulators (> 1000 µg/g dry weight) following the previous discovery of this ability in R. bengalensis. Another hyperaccumulator of nickel (R. javanica) was detected and highly anomalous cobalt values were found in varieties of R. albersii from Tanzania. Further study on these two species is suggested, in order to establish their significance in the fields of mineral exploration and of phytochemistry. re]19761101
