In this paper 26 specimens of H. ampla and 09 specimens of H. rupestris of young and old ages were analysed regarding to the total contente of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mo, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, B, Al, Co, Cr, Na, Pb, Si and Sr from different vegetative parts of the plants. The macroelements concentration from the leavee, stems and tubers from H. ampla and H. rupestris follows the relation N> Ca> Mg> P> K. The average concentration of these elements shows that there is no significative variability neither to the analysed orqans nor to their ages, except of N which presents higher concentration In the leavee when compared to the other elemente. The microelements show an uniform distribution in its several organs, however, Fe, Al and Na exhibit higher concentration. The mineral equilibrium was verified trough the variation of the concentration of the elemente and by the ratios K/Na, KVMg, K/Ca + Mg + 100/Mn + 10/Cu. The results suggested that H. ampla and H. rupeetris species there is not a perfect equilibrium in the several studied ratios, with the exception of the K/Ca + Mg ratio. Futhermore, the soils where the plants grew up regarding to the total contents of macro and microelements were determined.
