Abstract	The present study revealed the impact of various concentrations of chromium on the growth of Amarathus viridis L. and Mirabilis jalapa L. The results showed that the morphometric characters such as root length, shoot length, leaf area, fresh weight and dry weight of Amarathus viridis L. were significantly decreased with increasing concentration of heavy metal, but those characters were increased in Amarathus viridis L. when it was cultivated together with Mirabilis jalapa L. than the Amarathus viridis L. grown individually. Thus, from the above findings, it is clear that the plant Mirabilis jalapa L. acted as hyper-accumulator and because of the phytoextraction capability of this hyper-accumulator, the experimental plant, Amarathus viridis L. (hypo-accumulator) may grow well in metal stressed environment.
