title: [Application of cluster analysis to chemical taxonomy of medicinal material maidong].
abstract: The cluster analysis shows that the phytochemical constituents in genera Ophiopogon and Liriope are obviously different from each other and even different species of the same genus are not quite similar. Being consistent with the result of the traditional morphological classification, the cluster analysis may provide a chemical evidence for the phytochemical taxonomy and identification of medicinal material Maidong.
