Chanca piedra from Peru, shredded
Chanca piedra is the common name the supplier uses for Phyllanthus niruri. This product is the dried, shredded herb: small leaves and thin stems, as the photos show. The supplier lists herb as the plant part, shredded as the form and Peru as the country; the Maya Herbs pouch in the photo reads “Chanca Piedra”, “Phyllanthus niruri”, “Shredded” and shows a “Made in Peru” seal. Three weights are available: 50 g, 250 g and 1 kg. Mycotrop sells the herb strictly as a collectible or souvenir item.

The species and its range
Linnaeus described Phyllanthus niruri in Species Plantarum in 1753, and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) still accepts the name, placing it in the family Phyllanthaceae. The native range given there covers the warmer Americas: Texas and Mexico, Central America, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and the Lesser Antilles, and in South America Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and northern Argentina. Peru is not among the regions WCVP lists; it is the country given by the supplier and on the label.
Cut and colour
The photos show the labelled pouch beside a clay bowl of herb, then the bowl alone. The material is a fine, fairly even cut in light green to olive-brown tones, mixing small leaves with thin stem pieces. Colour and the share of stems can vary from one harvest lot to the next.
