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
