SCHEDULE
(Article 1)
SPECIES
1 Interpretation
(1) The Appendices set out in the columns in the Table shall be interpreted as set out below in accordance with the equivalent Appendices to CITES.
(2) Species included in these Appendices are referred to –
(a) by the name of the species; or
(b) as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part thereof.
(3) The abbreviation “spp.” is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.
(4) Other references to taxa higher than species are for the purposes of information or classification only. The common names included after the scientific names of families are for reference only. They are intended to indicate the species within the family concerned that are included in the Appendices. In most cases this is not all of the species within the family.
(5) The following abbreviations are used for plant taxa below the level of species –
(a) “ssp.” is used to denote subspecies; and
(b) “var(s).” is used to denote variety (varieties).
(6) As none of the species or higher taxa of FLORA included in Appendix 1 is annotated to the effect that its hybrids shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article III of CITES, this means that artificially propagated hybrids produced from one or more of these species or taxa may be traded with a certificate of artificial propagation, and that seeds and pollen (including pollinia), cut flowers, seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers of these hybrids are not subject to the provisions of CITES.
(7) The names of the countries in parentheses placed against the names of species in Appendix 3 are those of the Parties submitting these species for inclusion in this Appendix.
(8) When a species is included in one of the Appendices, all parts and derivatives of the species are also included in the same Appendix unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific parts and derivatives are included. The symbol # followed by a number placed against the name of a species or higher taxon included in Appendix 2 or 3 refers to a footnote that indicates the parts or derivatives of plants that are designated as ‘specimens’ subject to the provisions of CITES in accordance with Article I, paragraph (b), sub-paragraph (iii).
