Three alkaline (Li, Na, K), two earth alkaline (Ca, Mg) and two heavy metals (Fe, Ni) in different parts of Sedum album and Sedum sediforme were determined by wet destruction (HN03/HCl04) method, using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. S. sediforme roots were found to contain K and Ca in highest ratio. Ca was recorded as the major element in S. sediforme in all tested materials.
