The population area of P. vulgaris was 8~10 m2, and the population sizes were 30-40 individuals, indicating it is a small population. The frequency, coverage, and density of the population were 100%, 10%, and 4 individuals / m2, respectively. A mean value of P. vulgaris spikes was 5.6 units /individual. Excessive farming and picking were the most important cause for the wild resource reducing of P. vulgaris in China.
