How inappropriate. Especially because I don't own the plant,
and I am trying to do the right thing.

Thanks to the others that gave me information. I actually thought
that was the case. I am curious though, what happens when the
person doesn't know what they have. This particular plant, is from
the collection of a deceased person. A very old collector which I
understand isn't that uncommon for these decades old collectors
to have something in their collection that cites doesn't like. The
collection is now in the possession of caretaker, then a bulk was
sold at a society meeting by that caretaker. I was helping this
person find out what they had. I am very confident that all parties
involved don't know what they have. They just bought a bulk of
plants, and this one happened to be in it. The name the plant is
under didn't have any information. It was only when I asked a
friend to look in wildcat to find the parents that it came under the
current category. Then, what to do with the plant. Destroy it?
Even if the parents were legally obtained, due to the death it might
be impossible to find out.

thnx

If you can tell what endangered Paph A and Paph B are and give us your

full
name and address we could help you much better.

Thanks in advance,
Garland

What are the rules about owning a registered hybred (wildcat reg. in
1995) that the parents are apparently considered endangered? The
hybred was registered in 1995 as Paph a X Paph b. When I look the
plant up in google these two parents are listed in many places as
Paph a var b, and even in others that Paph a var b is considered a
new newly discovered species in 2000/1. How can that be if a cross
was registered in 1995?

Thanx
