OBJECTIVE： To establish the quality standard of Flemingia philippinensis. METHODS： The properties and microscopic characteristics were observed； TLC was adopted for qualitative identification of genistin and genistein； the moisture， total ash and extract were detected； HPLC was adopted for contents determination of genistin and genistein：the column was Thermo BETASIL C18 with mobile phase of Acetonitrile -0.5％ glacial acetic acid （gradient elution） at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min， the detection wavelength was 261 nm， column temperature was 25 ℃， and the injection volume was 10 μl. RESULTS： The properties and microscopic characteristics of F. philippinensis and F. macrophylla showed strong specificity. TLC spots of genistin and genistein we- re clear and well separated， with no interference in negative control. The moisture was 3.69％-8.37％，total ash was 1.72％-6.74％， and extract was 5.89％-19.65％. The linear range was 0.012 9-2.588 μg for genistin （r＝0.999 9） and 0.004 6-0.923 2 μg for genistein （r＝0.999 9）； RSDs of precision， stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3.0％； recoveries were 99.63％-101.87％ （RSD＝0.82％，n＝6） and 97.19％-100.34％ （RSD＝1.23％，n＝6）. CONCLUSIONS： The method is simple， accurate and specific， and can be used for the quality control of F. philippinensis.
