Background  The floral scents of plants play a key role in plant reproduction through the communication between plants and pollinators.  Aquilegia  as a model species for studying evolution, however, there have been few studies on the floral scents and relationships between floral scents and pollination for  Aquilegia  taxa.    Methods  In this study, three types of solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) fiber coatings (DVB/PDMS, CAR/PDMS, DVB/CAR/PDMS) were evaluated for their performance in extracting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from flowers of  Aquilegia amurensis , which can contribute to the future studies of elucidating the role of floral scents in the pollination process.    Results  In total, 55 VOCs were identified, and among them, 50, 47 and 45 VOCs were extracted by the DVB/CAR/PDMS fiber, CAR/PDMS fiber and DVB/PDMS fibers, respectively. Only 30 VOCs were detected in  A. japonica  taxa. Furthermore, the relative contents of 8 VOCs were significant different (VIP > 1 and  p  < 0.05) between the  A. amurensis  and  A. japonica .    Conclusions  The results can be applied in new studies of the relationships between the chemical composition of floral scents and the processes of attraction of pollinator. It may provide new ideas for rapid evolution and frequent interspecific hybridization of  Aquilegia .
