The genus Echinops belongs to the Asteraceae and so far 120 species have been reported from all over the world. According to Iranica flora, 54 species of Echinops are distributed in different parts of Iran which has laxative and pain-relieving properties. Botanical, morphological and habitat investigations determined that our productive species have spherical flower clusters, the same in terms of stem length, and in terms of habitat conditions, they grow in similar conditions. Also, the investigation of the life cycle of the insect and the production method of Man Shekartigal showed that the place of formation of man is on the base of the leaf and the life stages of the insect including different ages of larva, pupa and complete insect are passed inside the capsule which is Man Shekartigal. These species are branched and distributed in the highlands of the province. The altitude distribution of Echinops plant in Zanjan province was observed to be 900-2400 meters. Shekartighal production in Zanjan province is not significant and its collection is not cost-effective. Key words: Shakratighal, Man, altitude, capsule
