The effect of Cd and Pb on the germination and growth of Z..elegans Jacq.was studied in the paper.The results showed that the germination of seeds was inhabited with the increasing of Cd and Pb in the soil.The chlorophyll content and the content of MDA were decreased obviously with the increasing of concentration of Cd and Pb.The concentration of Cd in the plant reached a maximum when the concentration of Cd in soil was 100mg/kg.And the concentration of Pb absorbed by the plant reached a maximum when the concentration of Pb in soil was 1000mg/kg.
