 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Chinese Peony Paeonia group identification and classification of medicinal plant resources Paeonia (Paeonia) was originally under the Ranunculaceae (Ranunculaceae). But in recent years, some domestic and foreign scholars through this plant morphology, anatomy, pollen, chromosome and biochemical studies and other aspects that should be from the Ranunculaceae (Ranunculac-eae) carved out a separate set up as a Section, that is, peony Section (Paeoniaceae). Paeonia (Paeonia) is divided into three groups, namely, Peony Group (Sect. Moutan), North America, peony group (Sect. Onaepia) and the peony group (Sect.Paeonia).

Moutan) contained in the chemical composition of plants are mainly paeonol (paeonol), Peony phenol glycosides (paeonoside), Peony original phenol glycosides (paeonolide), Peony new phenol glycosides (apiopaeonoside), paeoniflorin (paeoniflorin) , hydroxy-paeoniflorin (oxypaeonifl-orin), benzoyl oxypaeoniflorin (benzoyl oxypaeoniflorin) and benzoyl paeoniflorin (benzo-yl paeoniflorin). Meanwhile, the peony is China’s national flower, the wild type, is a precious flower resources. Will now be classified in this group of plants are described below. 1.
