Abstract

Th e concentration of 59 macro- and microelements in herbs of 55 species, 34 genera, 13 tribes and 3 subfamilies of family Boraginaceae from diff erent habitats had been determined. Th e eff ectiveness of clade analysis using for study of elements content in plants of Boraginaceae for the purpose of chemosystematics was established. Th e dependence of content of biogenous and abiogenous elements from taxonomical position of species was established. Evolutionary age and phylogenetic connections render the biggest infl uence for microelements spectrum as had been showed. Th e hypothesis about existence of genetically determining of plant elements homeostasis has been spoken out.
