Abstract: 【Objective】The aim of this study was to evaluate the flavonoid composition and content in flower, peel and leaf of the basic genotypes of genus citrus in an attempt to provide information for the utilization of resource.【Method】Eleven flavonoids in different organs (flower, peel, leaf) of 10 typical genotypes representing five basic types of the genus citrus were determined by UPLC-PDA.【Result】Naringin is the major flavonoid in Papeda and Cephalocitrus, and hesperidin is the major flavonoid in Citrophorum, Aurantium and Sinocitrus．The highest naringin content was detected in the flowers of Guangxishatianyou (11 987.1 mg•kg-1FW), whlie the highest hesperidin content was detected in the peel of Edanhongju (14 794. mg•kg-1FW). Significant differences were observed in falvoniod contents of different Citrus plant organs. The highest total contents of 11 flavonoids of flower, peel and leaf were Guangxishatianyou (12 198.5 mg•kg-1FW), Edanhongju (16 744.1 mg•kg-1FW）and Taiwanpenggan (13 396.3 mg•kg-1FW）, respectively. The flavonoids content of flowers, peel, leaves in different genus citrus showed different variation patterns. However, there was only an abundance difference among different organizations of the same genus citrus, the orders of total flavonoids content variation in Papeda, Citrophorum, Aurantium, Cephalocitrus, Sinocitrus were flower＞leaf ＞peel, flower＞peel＞leaf, peel＞flower＞leaf，flower＞leaf＞peel, peel＞leaf＞flower, respectively.【Conclusion】The citrus genotypes native to china are rich in flavonoids, and obvious variations were observed between different types and tissues. The utilization of citrus resources should be on the basis of their respective characteristics.

Key words: citrus , five basic types of the genus citrus , tissues , flavonoid
