Fritillaria can be divided into Fritillaria cirrhosa and Fritillaria thunbergii according to different producing areas. Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae is produced in cold regions and distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Tibet, Gansu and other places. Bulbs are small and the two petals are equal, which are called loose shells, green shells and furnace shells.
Fritillaria thunbergii is born in wet hillside grassland and distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui and Hunan provinces. Bulbs are large and divided into two petals, called Yuanbao and Zhubei. They have different origins and sizes.
Fritillaria cirrhosa has low yield and high price, and its main functions are nourishing yin, moistening lung, clearing heat and resolving phlegm. Its efficacy tends to nourish, mainly strengthening the body resistance, and it is suitable for chronic cough caused by lung yin deficiency.
Fritillaria thunbergii has large yield and low price. Its main function is to clear away heat and phlegm, relieve depression and detoxify. Its efficacy tends to be scattered, mainly to eliminate evil, and it has a good effect on cough caused by acute respiratory infection.
To put it simply, Fritillaria cirrhosa is used to clear fire and eliminate dampness to treat chronic cough; Fritillaria thunbergii moistens the lung to treat heat, and is used for wind-heat cough.
Therefore, Fritillaria thunbergii is more symptomatic and cheaper than Fritillaria thunbergii for common acute cough.
The efficacy difference between the two mainly lies in:

3. The taste is not bitter, the drug effect is mild, and it is suitable for children to cough.
Fritillaria thunbergii:
1. It tastes bitter and cold, has strong heat-clearing power, and has the functions of clearing away lung heat and resolving phlegm. It is often used to treat phlegm-heat obstructing the lung or wind-heat cough, yellow and thick phlegm, etc.
2. This product has the effect of clearing away heat and resolving hard mass, and is often used to treat scrofula, carbuncle, lung carbuncle, breast carbuncle and skin carbuncle caused by phlegm-fire stagnation.
