Four medicinally important species namely; Anisomeles malabarica, Hyptis suaveolens, Leucas aspera and Ocimum americanum belong to the family of Lamiaceae were collected from Maravanmadam, Tuticorin, Tamilnadu in India and analysed for inorganic ions content. The nutrient status was determined in both cultivated (Pot grown) and wild plant species. Soils collected from the field and pots were also analysed for inorganic ions content. The concentration of ions such as K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ except Na+ were found to be more in leaves of cultivated plants. The ratio of K+/ Na+ was also found to be more in cultivated samples. The concentrations of above mentioned ions content were also found to be higher in the soil samples collected under the cultivated plant species.
