Populations of Linanthus androsaceus (Benth.) Greene growing on and off serpentine soils in southern California have been investigated by means of soil and plant shoot analysis, transplant exeriments and nutrient supplementation. The ability of the serpentine plants to flourish in serpentine soil, in contrast to the inability of the non-serpentine plants to flourish in serpentine soil, in contrast to the inability of the non-serpentine plants to do so, is apparently the result of several factors prominent among which are the calcium/magnesium ratio and nickel and chromium toxicity.
