Plants belonging to family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) have the tendency to absorb and hyperaccumulate heavy metals from the soil. About 25 % members of the Brassicaceae comprising of about 90 species are metal hyperaccumulators discovered worldwide to date. Of these 90 metal hyperaccumulators, species of the genera such as Alyssum, Arabidopsis, Brassica and Noccaea have been studied extensively for their ability to hyperaccumulate, remove, destroy, degrade, sequester, transform, assimilate, metabolize or detoxify majority of trace metals and appear to be model phytoremediators.

Many species of plants have been successful in absorbing contaminants such as lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, and various radionuclides from soils. One of phytoremediation categories, phytoextraction, can be used to remove heavy metals from soil using its ability to uptake metals which are essential for plant growth

I quite agree with Dr Arvind on Eichhornia crassipes(water hyacinth) as a very efficient plant in phytoremediation of heavy metals in water. In addition, I think Pistia stratiotes(water lettuce) could have similar result. Recently, I worked on Duranta repens and I discovered its great potential in remediation of heavy metals from soil.

The water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes has been considered as the highest tendency of absorbing heavy metals from water. It found in some rivers in many Governorates of Iraq. So it be a good plant for phytoremediation.

i see some paper about this, i remembered a few about it but i think a type of straw is good for that.

Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), a fresh water aquatic weed, is very efficient in absorbing heavy metals from water. However, its heavy metal absorption capacity from soil is dependent on soil moisture availability in the contaminated environment in question, as it needs water to survive (even though the seed has very long dormancy period).

The mentioned species could accumulate relatively higher metal concentrations far above the toxic concentration in the plant shoots . However, the factors affecting metal accumulation by plant species including metal concentrations, pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient status.

Among the plant to absorb heavy metals from soil and water is canola plant

Brassica family plants are well efficient for heavy metals remediation from soil. And for water contamination remediation Azolla is one of the efficient plant.
