Abstract: The quantitative analysis of chemical constituents quercetin,isorhamnetin,galangin and kaempferol of flowers and fruits of Alpiniae officinarum in different localities of Hainan Province was performed with HPLC,and their antimicrobial activities against Canidia albicans,Staphyloccocus aureus and Ralstonia solanacearum were assayed by the filter paper agar diffusion method. The results showed that the flowers of A. officinarum only contained quercetin while the fruits contained quercetin,galangin and kaempferol. The extracts of the flowers and fruits of A. officinarum both had an inhibitory effect on the growth of S. aureus,C. albican and R. solanacearum.
