Highlights

Echinacea purpurea (l.) Moench, Belonging to the composite family, is a traditional Indian herbal medicine native to North America, it contains active ingredients such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, alkylamide which can obviously improve the body's immunity, mainly used in the treatment of colds, typhoid, diphtheria, and tuberculosis and other bacterial infections disease, can treat sexually transmitted diseases, ulcers, diabetes, etc (Bauer et al, 1991; Bukovsky et al, 1995; Li et al, 2002; Barrett et al, 2003)
Results provide a theoretical basis for preliminary judgment of germplasm field screening; growth environment may have a greater impact on the external form of Echinacea
Material With stem color, flower color and shape of ligule petals index as main morphological identification indicators, 14 samples with obviously different phenotypes were chosen as the materials of this experiment and were collected from Tongcheng in Anhui and medicinal botanical garden in Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in July 2010, each taking 10 strains, as shown in the table 1
