I don't remember seeing an answer to this on the listserver. However I
have just received a 1997 catalogue from an Australian nursery. To
paraphrase, their nursery propagated Cephalotus are not available to
customers abroad because of the prohibitive time and expense of
getting CITES permits. So to to choose deliberately emotive
vernacular, it seems as though the score is still:
CITES Jobsworths 1 Plant Lovers 0
(apologies to all the idealistic CITES officials who still hope that one
day CITES will do more good than harm - you have a long, hard struggle
ahead).
