GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
The genus pleione (Orchidaceae) is famous for its ornamental value because of the special color of plants, and it is also a traditional medicinal plant in southeast Asia. The genus is composed of 24 species and nine natural hybrids, with 16 species found in China, primarily in the southwestern, central, and eastern regions. The rich variations and transitional types within Pleione make its classification system confusing, and it is difficult to distinguish traditional morphological taxonomic characteristics. Therefore, this study utilized chemical taxonomy to classify Pleione for the first time. A total of 13 species of Pleione were collected to construct high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprints, and similarity evaluation and cluster and principal component analyses were conducted. Moreover, the distribution of chromatographic peaks in the pseudobulbs of Pleione was determined. The HPLC fingerprinting method for Pleione that was established is stable, feasible, and produces reliable results, which can provide a reference for taxonomic research in Pleione, The goal of this study was to more accurately and comprehensively develop and utilize the resources of Pleione.
