Abstract: To evaluate the comprehensive quality of Aralia elata from the Changbai Mountain region of Jilin Province, 9 A. elata materials from the Changbai Mountain region of Jilin Province were selected as the research subjects. The growth indicators, the appearance quality indicators of the terminal buds and the contents of the nutritional substances were measured and analyzed. Moreover, the comprehensive qualities of 9 materials were evaluated and ranked, by integrating the membership function method and the principal component analysis. The results indicated that there were distinct differences in the growth indicators and the quality indicators among these materials. There were highly significant positive correlations between the plant height and the ground diameter, and the plant height was also significantly correlated with the contents of total saponin and crude fiber, respectively. There were also highly significant positive correlations among the length of the apical buds, the base diameter of the apical buds, and the fresh weight of the apical buds of 9 materials. Moreover, these three appearance quality indicators were successively significantly correlated with the contents of soluble sugars, crude fiber, and total flavonoids, respectively. The comprehensive evaluation values of the Huadian material was 0.92, which was the highest among 9 materials, and it can be used as the preferred material for the artificial cultivation of A. elata from the Changbai Mountain region. The comprehensive evaluation values of the Ji′an material, the Antu material, the Changbai material, the Liuhe materialand the Jiaohe material were also relatively high, and they can be also used in the artificial cultivation process of A. elata from the Changbai Mountain region.
