In 2021, all garlic orchids were included in the "National Key Protection Wild Plants List". Although Diaogan wild resources were protected by law, in recent years, the price of Diaogan has remained high. The excavation is still very rampant.

Is the Diary orchid related to garlic?

There are more than 20 species of dilog orchids in the world, mainly distributed in China, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. The southwest mountain of my country is its modern distribution center, and Yunnan is the place with the most adaptive radiation.

Diarypan is not garlic, but the orchid plant. It has this very grounded name because it has a unique fake bulb structure. From the outside, it is really a bit like the garlic.

In recent years, P. Bulbocodioides and Yunnan's market demand has increased year by year, and the immature artificial cultivation technology has led to the surge in market prices, and wild germplasm resources have been severely damaged.

The State Forestry and Grassland Bureau promulgated the "National Key Protection Wild Plants List" in September 2021. Among them, all of the genus Diaoguan is listed as a national second -level protection plant.

"薅" is too hard, it is too difficult to grow up

The most important reason for the dilute orchid is listed as a second -level protective plant.

As a sexual reproduction seed, the done orchid does not have an embryo, as thin as dust, and the germination rate is extremely low in the natural state.

On the other hand, Diaogan grows mainly on the surface or tree trunk covered with moss covered with moss. The growth environment is very bad, and it is easy to be damaged by artificial destruction, and once it is destroyed, it is difficult to recover.

Doronal seeds are difficult to germinate and narrowed in suitable areas, and artificial cultivation is extremely difficult, which further exacerbates artificial excavation.

What other plants are prohibited from digging?

In addition to the lonely garlic orchid, the "National Key Protection of Wild Plants List" is included in 455 and 40 categories of national key protection wild plants, including 54 and 4 categories of national first -level protection wild plants, 401 species of national second -level protection wild plants Category 36.

Like the ginkgo and red beans we are very familiar with, they are all damaged because of high medicinal value, and they are included in key protection plants under natural conditions. Behavior.
