This research analyzed the different anatomical-physiological characteristics of two leguminous plants: the calcifuge plant Lupinus luteus was compared with the calcicole plant Vicia faba. The difference in structures, the dense glandular hair coverage, the presence of crystals and tanniferous cells in V. faba, together with physiological factors, are among the reasons why calcicole plants are more resistant to excesses of calcium.
