Description & ecology

Individual foliar Tl maximum 10,800 µg g⁻¹ DW (Jakovljević et al. 2023, Metallomics 15:mfad063).

Population mean foliar Tl was 4,650 ± 853 µg g⁻¹ (Table 1); the previous review-cited record used that mean. Leaf As only up to ~20 µg/g and mostly from surface contamination.

Included to document the full Allchar Viola Tl-hyperaccumulator assemblage.
