Concentration level of nine elements viz. Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Na, K, Ca, and Li were determined in leaves and roots of Asparagus curillus (Buch.-Ham.) ex Roxb. collected from four different altitudes in three seasons by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The overall concentration of K was found to be highest, whereas the level of Cu was lowest. The maximum concentrations of Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Na, K, Ca, and Li were found to be 97.0 ± 1.5, 28.0 ± 7.0, 44.0 ± 7.3, 1138.0 ± 18.5, 91.0 ± 6.2, 381.0 ± 7.8, 9508.0 ± 7.8, 3076.0 ± 6.4, and 78.0 ± 4.6 mg/kg, respectively.
