The best taxonomic results were obtained in the analysis of rhizomes of 9 species and 1 variety of Smilacaceae plants grown in Zhejiang Province by using pyrolysis-high resolution gas chromatography and numerical taxonomy. When compared with the result of thin layer chromatography, it was found that those by classical taxonomy were basically reasonable, but Smilax china should be divided into two types: one with big berries and the other with small berries.
