Abstract: Objective: To establish the HPLC fingerprint of Huangshan Gongju chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) for its quality control and evaluation. Method: A total of 28 chrysanthemum samples of different geographical origins were determined by HPLC and evaluated using the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprints of Traditional Chinese Medicine to construct a common pattern. Results: Twelve common peaks were identified in the established fingerprints, each of which shared a similarity exceeding 0.96 with the control fingerprint and a similarity below 0.86 with other chrysanthemum varieties. Conclusion: The proposed method is simple, accurate, repeatable and suitable for quality control and evaluation of Huangshan Gongju chrysanthemum.

Key words: Huangshan Gongju chrysanthemum, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), chromatographic fingerprint, similarity
