That probably wouldn't be true. You don't see people selling and buying koalas and Hippos for the fun of it. Besides first all of the zoos in the world would have one, before normal people started buying them.
Listen to Bugweed on this stuff, he's got his facts straight. You can buy/sell within the state. NO MONEY, TRADE, or BARTER across state lines.
I also encourage anyone who is shipping Threatened/Endangered CP across state lines to include a letter specifying the plant is a gift.
Look, the truth is that NO ONE is going to open your package within the USA. The Feds just don't monitor domestic mail like that. Your letter, though, will be useful because the recipient will then have a receipt showing the legal source of the plant. I keep a separate binder with records of all Threatened/Endagnered shipments. Very useful.
I forgot to mention that the ICPS seedbank currently has lots of S. jonesii, S. alabamensis, and S. oreophila seed. Stocked from crosses I did here at UC Davis.
Indeed, hybrids involving endangered species are not protected. The cultivar Sarracenia 'Triple Rarity' is a hybrid of the three endangered species, I don't remember the parentage order. Since it is of horticultural origin, it is not covered by the Endangered Species Act.
Yet, a pure species plant of horticultural origin between, say, S. oreophila in Georgia and S. oreophila from North Carolina *would* be protected.
No one is going to jail for selling/trading a single oreophylla plant. I'm not arguing that it's not wrong/illegal...just not on the D.A.'s list of top priorities.
