The Malvaviscus arboreus, Heliocarpus popayanensis and Hylocereus undatus have been reported by river residents as natural flocculants. Waters were investigated in La Salada creek (in the municipality of Caldas, Colombia) to see if the effects are modified by the flocculant species (Malvaviscus arboreus, Heliocarpus popayanensis and Hylocereus undatus), the type of vegetal material (dry or fresh) and the concentration of organic flocculant (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ml). JAR methodology was used, following the standard ASTM No. D2035-80. It was found that Heliocarpus popayanensis and Hylocereus undatus presented a flocculation power (P value: 0.017), that increasing the concentration of flocculent it increased the flocculation (P value: 0.08) and the storage did not alter the effects of species over the process of flocculation (P value: 0.7813).
