Abstract: The chemical constituents of leaves of Aralia elata, collected from Xiaoxingan Mountains, Zhangguangcai Mountains and Wandashan Mountains of Heilongjiang province, had been analyzed by TLC. The chemical constituents varied among populations. The differentiation is in accordance with the variation of the key taxonomic characters. With the cluster analysis method on the chemical constituents, the specimens can be divided into 2 taxa, one is Aralia elata var. elata, the other is a new combination variety, Aralia elata var. mandshurica (Rupr. et Maxim.)
