The components of methanol and acidic ethanol extracts of the four samples were compared by HPLC. The components of petroleum ether extracts of the four samples were compared by TLC. Results The content of amino acids and ephedrine and the kinds of amino acids of P. ternata grown in Funan were almost the same as those from the other three, the main components of methanol and petroleum ether extracts of P. ternata grown in Funan were the same as those from other three. Some components of acidic ethanol extracts of the four samples were different. Conclusion The quality of P. ternata grown in Funan is as good as that of the other three.
