Based on the content ratio of GPS over LA(1.8-11.4),samples originated from Gentiana macrophylla(with content ratio of GPS over LA≤4.3) could be distinguished from those from G.dahurica and G.dahurica var.gracilipes(with content ratio of GPS over LA≥4.8).The principle components analysis of the HPLC fingerprints showed that samples originated from G.macrophylla and G.dahurica(including G.dahurica var.gracilipes) could be divided into two groups.This established HPLC-DAD method could be efficiently used for the species identification and quality control of GMR crude drugs.展开更多
