OBJECTIVE： To establish the quality standard of Ligularia fischeri. METHODS： TLC was used for qualitative identification of samples. The contents of moisture， ash and extract were determined. The content of ferulic acid in samples was determined by HPLC. The determination was performed on Waters SunFire C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1％ phosphoric acid （13 ∶ 87，V/V） at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 319 nm， and column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS： TLC spots were clear and well-separated without interference from genitive control. The moisture， total ash， acid-insoluble ash and extract of samples were 7.6％-9.4％， 11.7％-19.6％， 5.9％-14.1％ and 25.4％-37.5％， respectively. The linear range of ferulic acid were 0.021 2-0.636 8 μg（r＝0.999 9）. limited of quantation was 2.25 ng， the limited of detection was 0.75 ng. RSDs of intermediate precision， reproducibility and stability tests were all lower than 3.0％. The recoveries ranged 97.81％-100.59％（RSD＝1.02％，n＝9）. CONCLUSIONS： The moisture， total ash and acid-insoluble ash of samples are no more than 10.0％， 19.0％， 12.0％； the extract and the content of ferulic acid are no less than 25.0％ and 0.1％. Established standard can provide reference for quality control of L. fischeri.
