Objective: To make clear the distribution area in Chongqing and community characteristics of Epimedium myrianthum, in order to provide evidence for sustainable utilization of resources.
Methods: Based on field investigation, recorded the GPS, and used the quadrat method to observe and analyze the abundance, frequentness and importance value of Epimedium myrianthum in the seven well-concentrated sample plots of different habitats.
Results: Epimedium myrianthum distributed in Changshou County, Dianjiang County, Zhongxian County and Fengdu County of Chongqing at present.
