Reputable botanic gardens are becoming much more ethical about recognising
the rights of countries to profit from their native flora.

For a hobbyist wishing to obtain material from a botanic garden, that means
filling in forms giving undertakings not to profit from the material.

For a hobbyist wishing to donate to a botanic garden, that means having evidence
that the material was legally collected, and having very specific locality details
from the original collection.

Material in hobby collections therefore has a higher conservation value if precise
locality information is known.

Regards, NigelH
