Unexpectedly, a man in Linyi, Shandong Province, went on a hot search because of the potted plants bought by 200 yuan, and later found that the potted plants were protected by the state. At that time, the man looked at the plant as if he had a knot in his heart when he bought it, and the seller's reply was ambiguous, which seemed to make people look forward to what it would look like.

A man photographed the potted plants and posted them online. It was seen by netizens. Everyone reminds them that this plant is a national second-class protected plant, and its name is Guanyin lotus fern. It is illegal to buy and sell in private. The netizen suggested that the man hand it in immediately, and both husband and wife frowned.

In the end, they made the right choice. I believe that as long as they are law-abiding citizens, they will do the same. Now that they know the truth, if they don't pay it, the consequences of knowing the law and breaking the law will be very serious. So, the husband and wife came to the local forestry bureau and told the whole story. They have a good attitude. The forestry bureau didn't punish the man, but I think the pot seller might want eggs.

In fact, if it weren't for this news, I believe few people would know that it is a national protected plant. You search directly on the internet, but the encyclopedia doesn't say it's a national second-class protected plant, and the publicity is still not in place! But the professional seller of plants should be unknown, don't you think?

There are many introductions about Guanyin lotus fern on the Internet. If you are interested, you can check it online and mainly talk to you about some penalties involved.

According to the List of National Key Protected Wild Plants issued by the State Forestry and Grassland Bureau and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on September 7th, 20021,all species of pteridophytes are national second-class protected plants.

In addition, Article 24 of the Regulations on the Protection of Wild Plants in People's Republic of China (PRC): In case of selling or purchasing wild plants under special state protection in violation of the provisions of these regulations, the administrative department for industry and commerce or the administrative department for wild plants shall confiscate the wild plants and the illegal income according to the division of responsibilities, and impose a fine of less than 10 times the illegal income.

So this man can take the initiative to hand in this pot of plants and admit his wrong behavior. This is indeed a wise choice, otherwise he will be punished.

Some people will ask, can't you stay? Of course, the law clearly stipulates that individuals can raise them, but they must have the permission of the relevant departments.

This is an administrative punishment, which is relatively light. In fact, this matter also involves criminal punishment. According to Article 344 of the Criminal Law, illegal acquisition, transportation, processing and sale of precious trees or other plants and products under special state protection, which constitutes a crime, shall be punished according to the circumstances. Moreover, the standard of filing a case is very low, and a tree can file a case.

Of course, subjective intentional behavior will be put on file, and if it is negligence, it does not constitute this crime. This person bought it from the flower market, which is a formal channel. Besides, he didn't know what kind of plant it was, which was a negligent act. But later, netizens told him that this is a national protected plant. If he doesn't pay it at this time, it may be intentional and it will constitute a crime.

Fortunately, he made the right choice, otherwise he might really face legal punishment.

No business, no harm. Usually, people try not to buy exotic plants they don't know, so as not to become "accomplices" of unscrupulous businessmen. I hope everyone can set an example and protect precious plant resources.
