paph crosses with appendix 1 parents

[professor plant]

I have asked a few collectors and received some mixed answers, hopefully someone can give me a clear answer.

Is it legal AND awardable by the AOS for Paph crosses that have a protected/ restricted species in them? For example, if I by a P. Chiu Hua Dancer, that has a gigantifolium parent, which as far as I know is still an Appendix 1 species that is not available as US seed raised stock, can I get that plant awarded by the AOS?

Would I have to prove the origin of one or both parents before the cross was established, or will it just be rejected?

or: If I buy a cross that has anitum in it, is that permissable for an award?

or even further: Is anitum considered to be a variety of an adductum, and therefore awardable and legal, or is it consider its own species, and therefore not? I see many lists showing it both ways and I did not see specific species listed on CITES, nor did I see anything about hybrids there of.

I am curious, because I would like to invest in some more paphs, of the mentioned varities, and I do not want ot sell myself short.

I appreciate any and all feedback from growers who have already gone down this road with paphs.
