Abstract: Sambucus chinensis Lindl,a large herb widely distributed  inside and outside valley in northwestern Hunan province were selected for the  exploring study on the influence of on valley special-habitat cytology  and  plant morphology.(1) Morphological comparison of Sambucus chinensis  outside valley and inside valley indicates the difference in number of unfertile flowers,long/wide of leaflets,fruit color and stipule shape,but there are no obvious differences in the number of arris,the number of lateral branches,number of pitches,length of longest internodes and number of leaflets;(2)The leaf epidermal cells are usually irregular bearing with the anticlinal walls undulate;the stomatal density of S.chinensis of inside population is obviously higher than that of the outside one,37.6±7.47 per mm2 and 26.8±5.81 per mm2,respectively;while the stomatal index of S.chinensis of outside population (31.38%) is slightly higher than that of the inside one(29.17%);(3)Mitotic chromosome numbers of S.chinensis  outside and inside valley are diploidy with 2n=36 reality,and is incompatible with previous reference.Karyotype of S.chinensis is 2B and inside population with a karyotype formula of 2n=36=16m+14sm+2st+4t,and 2n=36=22m+14sm for outside population.Besides,the population inside valley appears more advanced than the outside population for their Ask values are 67.76% and 61.97%,respectively.

Key words: morphology, cytology, Sambucus chinensis, evolution, valley
