Abstract: Total flavonoids content of samples from different organs of Caragana microphylla Lam, C.zahlbruckneri C K Schneid, C arborescens(Amm) Lam, C chinghaiensis Liou, C boisi Schneid, C jubata (Pall) Pior were determined with the method of spectrophotometry. The results showed that organs with the highest content of total flavonoids are flower(nearly 3%) and compound leaf(2%-3% ), followed by the cortex of the stem(about 1%). Content of total flavonoids in root is relatively low(less than 1%). Study and developing of constituents including flavonoids in the organs of flower and leaf will be helpful to sustainable usage of Caragana Fabr and protection of ecologicalenvironment.

Key words: Caragana Fabr, Total flavonoid, Rutin
