description <i>Dendrobium officinale</i>, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has considerable commercial value and pharmacological activity. Environmental factors of different origins have a great influence on <i>Dendrobium officinale</i> metabolites, which affect its pharmacological activity. This study sought to identify the differential metabolites of wild-imitating cultivated <i>D. officinale</i> stems of different origins. Using the widely-targeted metabolomics approach, 442 metabolites were detected and characterized, including flavonoids, lipids, amino acids and derivatives, and alkaloids. We found that although the chemical constitution of <i>D. officinale</i> cultured in the three habitats was parallel, the contents were significantly different. Meanwhile, the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the distinctive metabolites among the three groups were mainly involved in flavone and flavonol biosynthesis. To further explore the different contents of flavonoids, HPLC was performed on four main flavonoid contents, which can be used as one of the references to distinguish <i>D. officinale</i> from different growing origins. In conclusion, a comprehensive profile of the metabolic differences of <i>D. officinale</i> grown in different origins was provided, which contributed a scientific basis for further research on the quality evaluation of <i>D. officinale</i>.
