In article , says...
I've also read opinions on the OGD that if a species does not have a proper
latin binomial, it is not eligible for CITES export papers.

Now that's interesting. At least over here, orchid sellers get tons of
shipments from abroad with plants like "Eria sp.". But then again, we
all have gotten a species which was not what it was labeled. They
probably name those arbitrarily to be eligible for papers.
