Abstract
Plants with underground storage organs in the natural flora of Egypt appeared promising as raw materials for various economic uses. As basic information for any future industrial, pharmaceutical, or agricultural uses, we must understand their inorganic constituents in relation to variations of habitats and life cycle events. Fourteen species have been collected from different habitats along the Mediterranean coast and examined for their chemical element composition and correlated with the environmental conditions. One of these species,Asphodelus microcarpus Salzm. and Viv., has been critically studied to determine the uptake and distribution of the different mineral elements during its different phenophases. The importance of this study on the rational uses of the different parts of this plant is discussed.
