The chemical fingerprinting of a plant demands the determination of a large number of elements at background level but also in polluted regions and in relation to other species. The most important stages of the development of plant fingerprints are mentioned in this paper and a short survey of the state of the art is presented. Examples on fingerprinting of lichens, mosses, Taraxacum officinale and Populus nigra ‘Italica’ are presented.
