To establish the chromatographic fingerprinting for identifying the habitat of Ligusticum chuangxiong. HPLC system was applied to obtain the chromatograms of L. chuangxiong samples from different areas, and 15 peaks were measured from the chromatograms. Then some computer-based methods including principle component analysis, clustering analysis, similarity calculation and fisher factor analysis were applied for data analysis. There was obvious difference among chromatographic fingerprints of L. chuangxiong samples from different areas. The 15 measured peaks could be used as the fingerprint features. Chromatographic fingerprinting can be used for identifying the habitat of L. chuangxiong.
