– The genus Echinacea ( Asteraceae ) comprises about 10 species originally distributed in North America. Three species are very well known as they are used worldwide as medicinal plants: Echinacea purpurea , E. pallida , E. angustifolia . Objective – To discriminate between these three Echinacea species and E. simulata by 1 H NMR‐based metabolomics. Methodology – 1 H NMR and multivariate analysis techniques were applied to diverse Echinacea plants including roots and aerial parts, authentic plants, commercial plants and commercial dry extracts. Results – Using the 1 H NMR metabolomics, it was possible, without previous evaporation or separation steps, to obtain a metabolic fingerprint to distinguish between species. Conclusion – A clear distinction between the three pharmaceutical species was possible and some useful metabolites were identified. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
