Cyrtopodium saintlegerianum

[SFLguy]

There's still plenty of time for punctatum to start blooming, I haven't heard of any with spikes here in sFL and we've been keeping an eye out. From what I was told, I think punctatum is the only non terrestrial of the genus and even then it mostly grows in crooks that can have a little bit of leaf litter build up.

Cyrtopodium punctatum is on the Florida endangered species list, but not on the Federal list. What is the legality of buying and selling this plant in Florida, and buying from Florida and shipping to other States?

I mean cultivated plants only, of course wild collecting will be illegal and wrong.

I'm pretty sure (but I'll have to check) that it can be sold within the state but can't be sent over state lines. You can carry it out of the state with you but sending it is not legal? Again I'm not 100% sure, I'll check up on that in a couple of minutes.
I know a non orchid species that is critically endangered that follows that process (Sarracenia oreophila)

The pitcher is Federally listed, so no individual, dug from the wild nor cultivated, can be taken across state lines, nor exported to another country, without a permit. Federally listed plants also can't be harmed in the wild.

States vary in their treatment of endangered plants. In Arizona ALL native plants are protected, unless they're on your land or they're Federally listed.

The Cyrtopodium is not on the Federal list, so Florida law would govern how it's treated.

A new one and a cool one to me. Those bulbs are something else.
