[Preliminary studies on chemotaxonomy of Caprifoliaceae L].
OBJECTIVE
To study the taxonomy of Caprifoliaceae.


METHODS
Using chemotaxonomical methods to discuss the distribution characteristics of chemical constituents in Caprifoliaceae family.


RESULTS
Iridoids and flavonoids were confirmed as the characteristic constituents of Caprifoliaceae family.


CONCLUSIONS
Though there are great deviations among the genera of Caprifoliaceae family, it is not recommended to separate genus Sambucus and genus Viburnum from Caprifoliaceae family.
