Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma produced in Danzhou and Leizhou was considered to be better in ancient times, and now it mainly produced in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan provinces. In addition, it has been concluded that Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma with reddish brown, sturdy and firm character, wrinkled skin, convex flesh, aromatic and spicy taste, and few branches is the best. In ancient times, Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma was commonly harvested in February and March, whereas it generally harvested in late summer or early autumn at present, and wild products are usually harvested before the rainy season in May.
