Salvia santolinifolia Boiss. is a perennial aromatic plant from Lamiaceae family that grows wild in Iran. The current study was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications in four habitats of Hormozgan province including Abmah, Ghotbabad, Dorahi-Meymand and Sirmand in 2018 to investigate some of the high-consumption (including calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus) and the micronutrients elements (including copper, iron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, cobalt, nickel and chromium) in soil and plants. 30 leaf samples were randomly collected from each habitat and divided into three groups of 10 for analyzing. Soil samples were collected from the area around the root of collected plants. In addition, soil physico-chemical characteristics and nutritional elements were measured by using an inductively coupled plasma measuring apparatus (ICP-OES) in lab. Data analysis was conducted by the analysis of variance and means comparision in SAS 9.4 software. The results of analysis of variance showed a significant difference among habitats for the high-consumption and the micronutrients elements (P <0.01). Also, the results revealed that in the present study, by changing the soil texture of the studied habitats from sandy loam to silty loam, the accumulation of high and low consumption elements in the soil and leaves has increased; Ghotbabad and Sirmand habitats had the highest accumulation of elements. The accumulation of high-consumption elements in all four habitats in the leaves was higher than in the soil, and in terms of low-consumption elements, the opposite was observed. Evaluation of high and low consumption nutrients in soil and leaves of natural habitats of S. santolinifolia in Hormozgan province showed that the concentration of nutrients in different habitats depends on changed to the environmental conditions of the region, including the type of parent rock, physical and chemical properties of soil, the status and shape of the elevation, altitude, climatic conditions and other factors, and knowing about these factors can help in choosing a secondary habitat to accelerate the process of domestication of this species.
