Lead (Pb) is known as one of the dangerous heavy metals which may spread in the environment due to industrial, domestic, agricultural and other human activities. The use of plants for cleaning up contamination which is known as phytoremediation requires information on the ability of plants to tolerate heavy metal exposure. The aim of this study was to determine the adaptation pattern of trembesi ( Samanea saman  Jacq. Merr) seedlings to lead (Pb) exposure based on the characteristics of organic acids content. Trembesi seedlings were grown on nutrient culture with Pb treatment of 0.5,1.5 and 2.5 mM for 7 days. The percentage of seedling life was counted and the organic acids content was observed using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the life percentage of trembesi seedling exposed to lead up to 1.5mM reached 100%, but it decreased to 60% when it was exposed to 2.5 mM of lead. Trembesi seedlings produced all three organic acids investigated as oxalic, malic and citric acid. The increase of lead exposure from 0.5 to 1.5 and 2.5 mM, caused a significantly increase of oxalic acid exudation from 0.346 to 0.545 and 0.668 µg/mL respectively. At the same time, they also induced the accumulation of citric acid from 46.4481 to 63,668 and 83,516 µg/g respectively. This shows that trembesi has the adaptability to lead by a combination of external and internal mechanisms involving organic acids accumulation.
