Twenty-three plant species from three post-mining sites in Sorowako, South Sulawesi, Indonesia were collected and their nickel concentrations in the dried leaf samples determined. Most species had a concentration below the threshold for nickel hyperaccumulation, with the exception of Sarcotheca celebica Veldk. (Family Oxadilaceae), which recorded a concentration of 1039 mg Ni kg-1 dry weight. However, all collected species would be suitable for remediation of the post-mining lands.
