Abstract
The leaves of AtripZe:c and eight related genera of the Chenopodiaceae from semi-arid Australia oontained high levels of oxalate. Most of the oxalate was in the soluble form and was correlated with high cation content generally rather than with calcium level. In water-culture experiments calcium absorption and oxalate synthesis varied independently.Keywords
