Abstract

Abstract - A study of lead accumulation by leaves with abundant trichomes Muntingia calabura L. and leaves with rare trichomes Mimusop elengi L. in Makassar Indonesia was conducted in August 2011 by using wet ashing method and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The objective of this study was to find out the influence of trichome abundance on lead accumulation in shade trees. Results from multiple regression analysis with interval level of 95 indicated a significant correlation between lead Pb absorption and Pb adsorption trichome abundance and leave surface area in A.P. Pettarani street R 0.851 and Hasanuddin University College R 0.731. In AP Pettarani Street correlation test between Pb absorption and each of the variable indicated a coefficient correlation R of 0.280 for Pb adsorption 0.849 for leave surface area. In Hasanuddin University College coefficient correlation R for Pb adsorption was 0.625 trichome abundance was 0.061 and leaves surface area was 0.243. In conclusion the trichome abundance had an influence on Pb accumulation in leaves with abundant trichomes Muntingia calabura L. and leaves with rare trichomes Mimusop elengi L..
