Abstract: Six metal elements,i.e.,Cu,Zn,Fe,Mn,Ni and Co,in peony grown in He′ze were determined by FAAS. Peony sample was ashed,ignited and the residue was taken up with HNO3(2+98). Standard curves of the 6 elements were prepared by using the respective standard solutions,and linear relationships with correlation coefficients in the range from 0.993 7 to 0.999 0,were obtained. Recoveries,obtained by standard addition method,were in the range of 99.0%-105.3%. On the base of the analytical results,a brief discussion on the exploitation of peony was given.
