Abstract: The procedure of thin layer chromatography-spectrophotometry analysis of total triterpene in Lagerstroemia specious L. leaf was investigated in this paper. The results showed that the accuracy of determination was high, processing with the following procedure: acetone (4:1 in volume ratio) as developer,0.3ml of 5% vanillin/glacial acetic acid added to 1ml perchloric acid solution, heating 15 minutes at 60℃, and the absorbance measured at 542 nm after being added 5ml glacial acetic acid and cooling. The recovery of the procedure was 100.22% and RSD 2.05%(n=5).The result showed no sharp difference with HPLC result.

Key words: Lagerstroemia specious L, total triterpene, thin layer chromatography, spectrophotometry
