I am wondering if there is a clear-cut consensus on this, and, if I can read this online somewhere.

Do Sarra hybrids go under Cites II, or are they not protected?

I recently ordered some hybrids from England, the customs-cites fellow said hybrids go under Cites II. I would like to see this written in an official document.

Anybody?

Cheers.

thanks bill. I am asking this, because on cites II only spp are listed, not hybrids. strictly hybrids don't go under spp, and if they do, why so?

If nothing else helps, ask CITES!

http://www.cites.org/eng/app/interpret.shtml

Number 5 of interpretation rules says:

> As none of the species or higher taxa of FLORA included in Appendix I is annotated

> to the effect that its hybrids shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article III

> of the Convention, this means that artificially propagated hybrids produced from one or more

> of these species or taxa may be traded with a certificate of artificial propagation

Guidelines for the national registration of nurseries see:

http://www.cites.org/eng/res/09/09-19R13.shtml

You don't need CITES certificates, but the plants must come with a certificate of an "Registered Nursery" that they are artificially propagated and then they can be traded worldwide.

[Edit]And if this certificate of a Registered Nursery is missing, the customs will tell you, that those plants need CITES papers.
