Right, he had to follow that route; I never said
Jerry did anything wrong.
>Peter, there is also another issue. If either of the

would not get
CITES for his flasks, but would be
charged with illegal possession of
App I plants; all would be confiscated.
This does not come into question at all Steve.
The flasked seedlings Manola Arias sells for his
father, Manuel Arias Silva,
are supposedly propagated from crosses between the five legal parent
plants,
which Manola names in pairs
as the parents of his flasked seedlings offered for sale.
(see his Peru-Flora brochure)
If INRENA believes the Pk flasks are what Manola says they
are, they can allow the
export of them without a CITES permit.
The accepted rule by member CITES
countries, is clear.........no CITES permits are
required for App I flasks
propagated from legal AP I plants.
