Its native range is from Afghanistan to central and eastern Asia (within East Himalaya, Nepal, Pakistan, Tadzhikistan, Tibet and West Himalaya) and to southern central China and Myanmar.[1]

The genus name of Shangwua is in honour of Shang Wu Liu (b. 1934), Chinese botanist, taxonomist and professor in the province of Qinghai, China.[2] It was first described and published in Taxon Vol.62 on page 992 in 2013.[1]
