Abstract:  Fructus rhodomyrti is the fruit of the Rhodomytus tomentosa (Ait.) Hassk, and it is a traditional Chinese medicine material with anti-hepatitis property. According to the reports, it contains flavonoid glycosides, phenols, amino acids, organic acids and carbohydrates. It grows on knolls, wilderness which distributes in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Yunnan, Guizhou, China. In this paper, the content of flavones was measured and the species of flavones were identified in Fructusrhodomyrti. The results showed that 95% methanol was the premium solvent to digest flavones in Fructus rhodomyrti. And that the content of flavones is 0.926mg/ml which the standard sample was rutin. With color reaction and fluorescence identification, it was determined that the species of flavones have flavanones, chalcones and flavonols.
