The capacity of rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense michx., cv. Nova zembla) and firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea M.J. Roem. Var. Lalandii (duren) dipp.) to change ambient SO/sub 2/ levels in a closed fumigation system was studied. P. coccinea removed greater quantities of SO/sub 2/ at faster rates than R. catawbiense. Differences in leaf surface characteristics between the 2 species suggest that at least part of the SO/sub 2/ uptake mechanism may involve a surface-mediated response to the pollutant.
