Blackwater Wabu Fritillaria

Blackwater Wabu Fritillaria

　　Blackwater Wabu Fritillaria is a specialty of Heishui County in the Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. The county has established technology demonstration households in Luoduo Township and actively carried out field cultivation trials of Wabu Fritillaria, achieving initial success.

　　Wabu Fritillaria is one of the precious medicinal plant varieties native to the mountainous regions of Heishui. Its origin was discovered on Waboliangzi Mountain in Heishui County, and wild resources are widely distributed within the county, mainly along the high-altitude areas on both sides of the Heishui River basin. In 2010, it was included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In 2013, after conducting a field investigation in Heishui, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Planning Expert Group designated Wabu Fritillaria as one of the key medicinal plants for development in the region. The county promptly arranged deployments and initiated related foundational work. By collecting germplasm, establishing technology demonstration households, researching field cultivation techniques for fritillaria, and gradually expanding the mother plant garden, conditions have been created for the scaled cultivation of fritillaria.
