在近期播放的东方卫视《极限挑战宝藏行》中，嘉宾疑似采摘濒危植物，水母雪兔子（Saussurea medusa）引热议。
Chinese variety show Go Fighting! was in hot water after its latest episode showed celebrities picking endangered plants in the wilds of Southwest China’s Tibet autonomous region.
视频显示，节目嘉宾岳云鹏、俞灏明、刘宇宁三人前往高原采摘雪莲，被网友指出所采摘的雪莲为国家二级珍稀植物水母雪兔子。
In a video that went viral on social media, several celebrities found and picked a flower in the alpine talus zones in Tibet. The flower, thought to be Saussurea involucrata by the show, was later proved to be Saussurea medusa, a plant under second-level state protection in China.
21日晚，@东方卫视极限挑战 发布致歉声明：由于细节设计上的失误，尽管没有实际发生采摘珍稀植物的行为，但节目播出后产生了一定的负面影响，没有起到宣传好珍稀植物保护规定的作用。为此节目组虚心接受所有网友、粉丝及媒体的指正批评，并诚挚地表示歉意。
On Sunday night, the team of Go Fighting! made a public apology for their mistake in the detail of the game’s design, and for showing a negative example of rare species protection. The team also claimed rare plant-picking didn't actually happen.
9月21日早前，嘉宾之一刘宇宁也发博表示道歉，并称雪莲花为道具。
Earlier the same day, Liu Yuning, one of the celebrities in the show, posted an apology saying that Saussurea involucrata was a prop, which was questioned by experts who said it was a real Saussurea medusa in the show. Liu also admitted that his actions might have misled people into picking plants in the wild.
不过有网友在评论中表示，即便是“道具”这样做也是不合理的：
还有人解释，“道具”并不意味着东西是假的：
@果壳 在微博中表示：
有消息称这是节目组准备的道具。但即便是道具，这样做也是不合理的。首先，他们混淆了“雪莲”和“雪兔子”两种植物。更重要的是，即便用的是道具，“从地上采摘"和之后的环节，都没有宣传珍稀植物保护，反而展示了“野生植物可以随便采摘”的错误行为。
想通过明星艰苦爬山来吸引观众，没问题。遇到珍稀的植物，也没问题。如果能在科学顾问的指导下，对它们拍照、科普而不是采摘，节目和环境可以都受益。

According to experts, Saussurea medusa is on the List of National Key Protected Wild Plants (Draft for Comment) and picking it is illegal.
目前，@东方卫视极限挑战 已将采摘雪莲花的相关微博删除。
