is a plant with a high biomass and heavy metal tolerance, which is a good candidate for phytoremediation. Pot experiments were conducted to compare the growth response, Pb enrichment ability, and the effect on Pb speciation of two ecotypes of M. floridulus from the Dabaoshan Mining Area and the non-mining area of Boluo County, Huizhou, in soils with different Pb contents. The results showed that two ecotypes of M. floridulus had different growth responses to Pb concentrations in soil. Under a low concentration of Pb (100 mg·kg−1) treatment, the aboveground biomass of the non-mining area plant ecotype was significantly affected, while the plants with the mining area ecotype were not significantly affected. When the concentration of Pb increased, the aboveground biomass of the non-mining ecotype was 30.2−41.1% of the control, while that of the mining ecotype was 57.8−65.0% of the control. The root biomass of the non-mining ecotype decreased with the increase of treatment concentration, accounting for 57.8−64.2% of the control, while that of the mining ecotype increased significantly, accounting for 119.5−138.6% of the control. The Pb content in the shoots and roots of the mining ecotype M. floridulus increased rapidly with the increase of the Pb treatment concentration in the soil, and the increase in speed was obviously faster than that of the non-mining ecotype. The total amount of Pb accumulated in the roots of the ecotype from the mining area was much greater than that of the ecotype from the non-mining area, and increased significantly with the increase of Pb concentration in the soil (p < 0.05). With the aggravation of Pb stress, the transfer coefficient and tolerance index of the two ecotypes decreased by different degrees. The transfer coefficient and tolerance index of the mining ecotype were significantly higher than those of the non-mining ecotype. Pearson correlation analysis showed that root biomass was positively correlated with shoot biomass, and shoot biomass was negatively correlated with Pb content in both root and shoot, indicating that Pb accumulation in root and shoot was toxic to plants and inhibited the growth of M. floridulus. The mining ecotypes showed stronger tolerance to and enrichment of Pb.
