Plants belonging to certain species of succulents are subject to special regulations, enunciated by the ‘Convention on Trade in Species of Animals and Plants of Wild Fauna and Flora,’ or CITES for short, whereby anyone (whether a dealer, nurseryman, or free citizen) who disposes of such plants in any capacity must observe the rules expressed in the convention. Otherwise, there is a risk of incurring heavy fines and/or criminal penalties.
The official list of species covered by this convention is available at: list of animal and plant species included in cites.
