Abstract
Unlike serpentine soils, reported from different parts of the world, those occurring in the mineralised zones of chromite in Kondapalli area do not show any characteristic vegetation to demarcate and differentiate the serpentine soils from the adjoining nonserpentine soils. However, Ocimum adsendens is found to be an accumulator of chromium, occurring exclusively on the chromite ore body, and serves as an indicator plant. NJ plant is found to be an indicator of vanadium in vanadiferous magnetite of Putrela.
