Respected Usha mam Thats a very interesting point of pollen swabbing and there is a reason for that. You know if you cut plants, steal them and bring them to your place, it is certainly illegal and risky in the sense that people can see you carrying plants outside their natural habitat. So, some people who already own plants at their garden or nursery, they take pollen swabs to pollinate their privately owned plant with flowers or they just pollinate two plants in the wild to collect fruits later on. I know some people do such things in here too. In one way it is good if fruits are produced on the wild plants. But its not good if all fruits are collect later on. Secondly, this is not a natural process afterall.... Imagine carrying a cutout from plant or carrying a cotton ear bud pollen swab. No one will ever understand that ear bud has the ear dirt on it or pollen :).... Also, in some countries (many countries but not india), it is allowed to carry seeds. Even CITES permit is not needed for seeds. Thanks and regards Pankaj
