Thailand will ask the international wildlife secretariat to pull hybrid, jade and crown of thorns orchids from its list of species
under controlled trade, a senior official said yesterday.



So, I'm not familiar with Thai common names. What is a 'jade' or
'crown of thorn' orchid? Problem with common names is that they are
so.... common. I might think crown of thorns was some sort of
euphorbia, and jade a succulent in the crassulacea group, neither of
which are orchids (but both of which I might easily presume to be on
CITES appendix two).

Thanks
