SCHEDULED SPECIES
Interpretation of Appendices
Where there is a conflict between the scientific term and the common term in the use of name of any species in this Schedule, the scientific term shall prevail.
Species included in these Appendices are referred to—
as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part thereof.
The abbreviation “spp.” is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.
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.
The following abbreviations are used for plant taxa below the level of species:
As none of the species or higher taxa of FLORA included in Appendix I is annotated to the effect that its hybrids shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article III of the Convention, 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 the Convention.
In accordance with Article I, paragraph (b), subparagraph (iii), of the
Convention, the symbol (#) followed by a number placed against the name of a species or higher taxon included in Appendix II or III designates parts or derivatives which are specified in relation thereto for the purposes of the Convention as follows:
