A newly discovered plant species accumulates astonishing levels of nickel in its leaves. Concentrations of 18,000ppm by weight, making the dried leaves almost 2% nickel, have been measured. Most plants would die at a thousandth of that level. Even species that grow in nickel-rich soil seldom have the capacity to hyperaccumulate the metal, although 500 species are known to be able to store large.. "Hyperacccumulator plants have great potentials for the development of green technologies, for example, 'phytoremediation' and 'phytomining'" says
