This may be a dull point. However, remarks were made that "even flowers were not exempt from CITES", and I am sure that this is so. However, to emphasise how little such things are taken into account in the real world of exporting nations, I was in a cold Asian country last week for a UN event. Renanthera imschootiana was arranged in huge sprays with seasonal red berries and Bergenia leaves, placed in great blocks in the many, many hotel lobbies. It was certainly not be native-grown, but is unless I am mistaken is an Annex 1 species. ______________________________
