Objective To study the genetic diversity of Fritillaria thunbergii,a traditional Chinese herb in Zhejiang Province in China.Methods The genetic diversity of six representational populations of F.thunbergii including 32 individuals was investigated by amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP) maker technique.Results The genetic diversity was revealed as follow: the Nei′s genetic diversity index(He) 0.169 0?0.175 7,Shannon′s information index(I) 0.269 8?0.245 3,percentage of polymorphic loci(PPB) was 76.85% at the species level;Ht 0.169 0?0.030 9,and Hs 0.150 8?0.024 0,I 0.233 3?0.261 9, PPB was 50.38% at population level.The genetic differentiation index(Gst) was 0.107 6,Nm 4.147 0.The result of dendrogram of six populations indicated that Dongyang and Yongkang populations shared the minimum genetic distance(0.015 0),they were classified into a group,and Xiangshan and Jinyun populations shared the maximum genetic distance(0.032 4).Conclusion The genetic diversity of F.thunbergii cultivated in Zhejiang Province is very rich,which could ensure the long-term survival of F.thunbergii.But the genetic diversity of F.thunbergii is relatively higher in population levels while lower at the species levels and the degree of genetic differentiation occured among the populations is not significant.The germplasm resources are relatively stable among these six populations.These populations could be used to breed the fine strains of F.thunbergii as the bases.

Objective To observe the genetic structure of cultivated Scrophularia ningpoensis in Zhejiang Province.Methods The genetic structures of six typical S.ningpoensis populations were analyzed by fluorescence AFLP marker.Results Bands(12 552) were generated by seven pairs of AFLP primer combinations,of which 8 808 were polymorphic,and the polymorphic rate was 70.17%.The variety ranges of PPB among different populations were 41.67%—55.56%,and 47.30% in average.I was between 0.190 8—0.238 3,and 0.221 8 in average.Ne was between 1.201 4—1.280 6,and 1.236 9 in average.Gst was 0.127 1,Nm was 3.432 4.UPGMA Cluster analysis showed that the six populations can be divided into two clusters,as that of Tiantai,Jinyun,and Jingning were one sub-cluster,and Dongyang,Pan′an,and Xianju were another one sub-cluster.Conclusion There is a relative high genetic diversity level in cultured S.ningpoensis of Zhejiang Province.Genetic differentiation exists among populations,but it exists in population mostly.There is a relative high genetic intercommunion among populations.The genetic distance is not related to the geographic environment.

Flos Trollii is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb in China. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia （part 1） did not include the medicinal herb， its source is not clear， and there is a lack of relevantly systematic and comprehensive research. By consulting ancient Chinese herbal medicines， medical books and related literature， the textual research of Flos Trollii was conducted to verify the name， origin and producing area， so as to provide a reference for the clinical application and resource development of Flos Trollii. Through textual research， it could be seen that the name “Jinlianhua” was used as the correct name in the mainstream origin of the past dynasties， and there were still multiple synonyms such as Hanjinlian， Jinmeicao and so on， most of which originated from its growth environment and appearance. According to the distribution of varieties， it could be inferred that the mainstream origin of Flos Trollii in the Qing Dynasty and before was Trollius chinensis Bge. According to historical records， Flos Trollii were mostly produced in northern regions such as Hebei， Inner Mongolia， Shanxi， etc.， which was related to the fact that Flos Trollii liked cloudy， humid and cold environments. Based on the textual research results， the author suggested that the mainstream origin of the past dynasties T. chinensis Bge. should be selected for subsequent collection of Flos Trollii.
