Abstract: Glycyrrhiza uralensis, G. glabra, G. inflata, G. aspra and G. korhsinskyi are 5 species of Glycyrrhiza. Which distribute in 63 counties of Xinjiang. The area of G . inflata is Talimu Basin. The area of other 4 species are Mediterranean-Central Asian. According to author’s analysis, the climatic requirements of genus Glycyrrhiza in Xinjiang are the mean annual precipitation of 4—490mm, the mean annual of temperature of 0.4—14℃, the annual accumulated temperature of 1900—5500℃. But the ranges vary with different species.In order to have a sustainable and complete utilization for liconice, a rational excavation system should be set up and a special licorice productive base should be established, and, last of all, an integrative utilization system has to be developed.
