Abstract: The photosynthetic characteristics of Cyclocarya paliurus from twelve selected provenances were measured with Li Cor-6400 potable photosynthesis system. The results were as follows: The diurnal dynamic of photosynthesis rate(Pn)and transpiration rate(Tr)displayed a 2-peak “M” shaped curve which appeared at around 10:00 and 14:00 respectively. However, CO2 concentration between cells showed a “W” shaped curve which exactly opposite to the Pn and Tr curve. Stomatal conductance had max value at 6:00 but decreased quickly after then. However, it displayed same trend with Pn and Tr after 8:00. Water use efficiency(WUE)increased before 8:00 and after 12:00, but decreased during the period of 8:00-12:00. There were significant differences in the photosynthetic characteristics among different provenances selected. By using the significant differed photosynthesis characteristics to do the Fuzzy mathematics analysis, Kunming, Anji, Lushan, Ziyuan and Shucheng were considered the superior ones cultivated in Jiangsu province.
