| Remarks | The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China defines the mature fruit of Amomum villosum Lour.（陽春砂, Yangchunsha), A. villosum Lour. var. xanthioides T.L. Wu et Senjen (= A. xanthioides Wall.) or A. longiligulare T.L. Wu as Sharen (縮砂). Amomum Seed, in the Japanese Pharmacepoeia, had been defined the seed mass of Amomum xanthioides Wallich until its 16th edi. In the 17th edi., it is specified as the seed mas of Amomum villosum Lour. var. xanthioides T. L. Wu et S. J. Chen, Amomum villosum Lour. var. villosum or Amomum longiligulare T. L. Wu. Izusyukusya (produced in Japan): There are two kinds of Suosha, Kokushu and Hakushu. The former is the seed, without aril, of Alpinia japonica (Thunb. ex Murray) Miq. (Jap. name: Hanamyōga) or A. intermedia Gagnep. (Jap. name: Aonokumatakeran). The latter is the arillate seed of A. speciosa (J.C. Wendl.) K. Schum. (Jap. name: Gettō), and the quality is not good. Sharen produced in Taiwan is regarded as the seed of Gettō. | |||||
