Ma (2023), comparing different tibetan and chinese sources, describes 3 groupes with a total of 14 species : "The “ Shengdeng” species primarily inhabit the middle and lower altitude regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. The “ Tanhong Shengdeng” variety is primarily distributed in high altitude regions, notably Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, and other areas. In contrast, the “ Bihuang Shengdeng” type exhibits a wide distribution and is commonly found along the hillside edges of forests. It predominantly flourishes in sub-montane to montane regions. Lastly, the “ Songbai Shengdeng” variety thrives at relatively lower altitudes and can be found throughout the entirety of the country".
