        1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants

        CITES listing

        The Threatened Plants database includes data concerning all taxa listed on CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora) Appendices I and II current as of the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES (WCMC, 1996). Two species, Orothamus zeyheri and Protea odorata have been proposed for downlisting from Appendix I to Appendix II at the 1997 tenth Conference of the Parties. CITES listing is at the level of species, genus or family, and records on the database are flagged at the appropriate taxonomic level. They are displayed in this list as indicated in the following table.

        Taxonomic levels of CITES listings displayed in this Red List

        Family I or II (underlined)
        Genus I or II (italicised)
        Species or infraspecies I or II (normal type)

        Note that not all taxa within genera and families that have blanket listings under CITES are shown in this list. Only those taxa that have been assessed and found to be threatened throughout their range are included.
