We determined trace element abundance in twenty seven ferns and related lichen from the Mannen area, Tobe Town, Ehime Prefecture, to find plants for phytoremediation. Although the most ferns do not show specific accumulation for any toxic elements, Arachniodes standishii (Moore) Ohwi contains significant amount of antimony (max. 44μg/g-DW). Further greenhouse pot experiment is needed to test the possibility for the fern as the accumulator.
