-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sha Ren commonly known as Fructus Amomi is the mature fruit of Amomum villosum, A. villosum var. xanthioides, or A. longiligulare, which is a perennial herb belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. It is a relatively practical and common Chinese herbal medicine, which first appeared in <Yao Xing Lun> (Discourse on the Properties of Pharmaceutical Substances) in the 7th century AD.
Previously, Amomum villosum, A. villosum var. xanthioides, and A. longiligulare belonged to the genus Amomum. They are now grouped into the genus Wurfbainia.
There are about 26 species of Wurfbainia, which are widely distributed in tropical Asia. Among them, some species have high economic value and can be made into medicines and spices.
Amomum villosum is also known as Wurfbainia villosa. They like the warm and humid climate of tropical and subtropical monsoon forests. They often grow in the shady and wet mountains. They are distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Fujian.
