AbstrakDetoxification of cyanide contaminated soils and waters with plants seems to be a feasible option in these decades. The plant types that are of particular interest for use as remediation are those that absorb, store and under certain circumstances, detoxify contaminants. Since plants vary in their ability to accumulate specific contaminants, it is necessary to identify candidate plant species that can both accumulate and tolerate the contaminants of concern at a given site. For this purpose screening appropriate plant species adapted to local conditions should be seriously considered. Therefore this study aims to characterized plants that grow under extreme contaminated media of gold mined sites i.e tailing dam that belongs to PT ANTAM Cikotok and to analyse the capacity of their potency as hyperaccumulator. The results showed that some plant species, which grow in the contaminated areas, indicated high tolerance and potentially affective in accumulating cyanide in their roots and above ground portions. Some of these plants are known as cover crops i.e Centrocema pubescens Beth and Mucuna purients DC. Other species are Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M King and H. Robinson, Cleome aspera Koen ex Dc, Jussieua peruviana, Melastoma malabatricum Liin, Mikania cordata (Burm.f.) B.L.Rob, Paspalum conjugatum Berg that known as weeds and Solanum torvum Swartz that known as vegetable. As candidate species, these plants need to be studied integratedly and utilized as hyperaccumulators for cleaning up the contaminated sites.
