Objective: To develop the finger print of medicinally and economically important leaves\udof Bauhinia variegata Linn. Methods: Ethanol extract of the leaves were developed in the\udmobile phase of n-Hexane: Ethyl acetate: Formic acid: Acetic acid (70:30:1.0:1.0) using standard\udprocedures and scanned under UV at 254 nm, 366nm and under visible light. Results: The HPTLC\udfingerprinting of the ethanol extract has shown several peaks with different Rf values. 2.5 毺 L of\udethanol extract showed 11 spots while 5 毺 L and 10 毺 L has shown 13 spots. 15毺 L concentration\udgave 14 spots in the above said solvent system. Conclusions: This finger print would be helpful\udin the identification and authentication of this species
