illegal orchids or orchid smuggling.....

As you can imagine, that means all newly described species must be described from within the borders of the country they are discovered in before they can be exported to the rest of the world. This establisheds a need for extant botanical authority there, not a given, and may prevent plants from being described at all. This mess has also caused some large botanical institutions in the USA to completely stop all plant research outside of the USA. They saw what happened to Selby and are afraid it could happen to them. What I feared and predicted would come to pass when the CITES nazis and US court decided botanists must now also be police. |
