Default CITES re Euathe sanderiana

That's an unfortunate *******ization of the convention. It was developed
specifically for regulating trade (commercial sales), but has grown to cover
all, as you stated, Weng. What's worse is the "unlevel playing field" when
it comes to interpretation by the signatories individual responsible
agencies.

Ray,

I'm afraid 'trade' in CITES language refers to any movement across
borders, and not to one's intentions. So CITES does apply!

1) Euanthe sanderiana is a CITES Appendix II species, so international
trade is permitted.
2) CITES does not apply in this case, as there is no TRADE going on.
