Melilotus albus

Flowers of the three main forage plants in the study site were collected and analyzed for radionuchdes (gamma-emitting nuchdes and tritium). These flowers came from salt cedar (Tamarix ramosissima), white sweet clover Melilotus albus), and rabbit brush Chrysothamnus nauseosus). Results from this study indicated that there were no signiflcant differences in the amounts of radionuclides found in the flowers of these three plants. Figure 8.2 shows a series of boxplots of the floral sample concentrations. Detailed results from these experiments can be found in Flaarmann [23]. 

Figure 8.2 Boxplots of the concentrations of radionuclides in flower samples of three plants Melilotus albus [Meal], Tamarix ramosissima [Tara], and Chrysothamnus nauseosus [Chna]). Each boxplot graphs the individual sample results, the median (shown as the middle horizontal line of the box), interquartile range (enclosed in the box), and twice the interquartile range (whiskers extend to twice the interquartile range).
