Resumen:
The characterization of two plants, frequently used as food and medicinal species from South America, Achyrocline satureioides and Achyrocline venosa (Asteraceae:Gnaphalieae), was carried out based on their multielemental composition. Twenty five elements, including toxic elements, were analyzed by means of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) from aerial parts of the plants. Recovery of toxic elements was study. For characterization, the multivariate methods used include Principal Components Analysis, Cluster Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis.
