Abstract: This study was aimed to establish the quality standard of Pyrethri Tatsienenis Flos. The medical material was identified by the microscopy and the thin layer chromatography ( TLC ) methods . The moisture , total ash , acid-insoluble ash and alcohol-soluble extract were determined according to procedures recorded in the Chi-nese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition). The content of luteolin was determined by the HPLC method. The results showed a strong characteristic microscopic of Pyrethri Tatsienenis Flos , and its TLC identification had a good resolution with clear spots . The mass fractions of luteolin was 0 . 036%~0 . 104% ( average of 0 . 078%) , moisture was 9 . 32%~15 . 82% ( average of 13 . 11%) , total ash was 6 . 65%~8 . 29% ( average of 7 . 45%) , acid-insoluble ash was 0 . 23%~0 . 59% ( average of 0 . 42%) , and the extraction was 21 . 42%~30 . 15% ( average of 24 . 86%) . It was concluded that this established standard was simple to operate with good stability and reproducibility , which can be used for quality evaluation of Pyrethri Tatsienenis Flos .
