PC21 Doc. 19.1 Original language: English PC21 Doc. 19.1 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________ Twenty-first meeting of the Plants Committee Veracruz (Mexico), 2-8 May 2014 Interpretation and implementation of the Convention Species trade and conservation Periodic review of species included in Appendices I and II [Resolution Conf. 14.8 (Rev. CoP16)] OVERVIEW OF SPECIES UNDER REVIEW 1. This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 2. In Resolution Conf. 14.8 (Rev. CoP16) on Periodic Review of species included in Appendices I and II, the Conference of the Parties agrees on a process and guidelines for the Animals and Plants Committees to undertake a periodic review of animal or plant species included in the CITES Appendices, and: Directs the Secretariat to maintain a record of species selected for periodic review, including: species previously and currently reviewed; dates of relevant Committee documents; recommendations from the reviews; and any reports and associated documents. 3. At its 20th meeting (PC20, Dublin, March 2012), the Plants Committee advised that the record of plant species selected for periodic review and maintained by the Secretariat, should include the following additional information: the Appendix in which the taxon is listed; the IUCN conservation status category and assessment date, the range States; and more details of the status of the periodic review (e.g. the Party or Parties undertaking the review, “review completed”, “review ongoing”, “review pending – Party needed to undertake review”). 4. The Secretariat reviewed the record to take into account the above suggestions and standardized the language used to describe the status of the reviews in accordance with the provisions of Resolution Conf.14.8 (Rev. CoP16), as follows: – Review ongoing [species still being considered under paragraphs e) – k) of the Resolution]; – Review completed [actions under paragraphs j) or k) of the Resolution fully undertaken]; – Review stopped [paragraphs j) or k) of the Resolution not completed and no further action planned]; – Species deleted from review [no volunteer offered to undertake a review, paragraph e) of the Resolution]. PC21 Doc. 19.1 – p. 1 5. The record of plant species selected for review between the 13th and 15th meetings of the Conference of the Parties (CoP13, Bangkok, 2004; CoP15, Doha, 2010) is shown in Annex 1. The record of plant species to be reviewed between CoP15 and the 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP17, 2016) is shown in Annex 2. Both review periods are summarized below: Review period Result of the periodic review process Resulting amendments to the Appendices 19 species reviews were completed 4 taxa were retained in Appendix I 4 taxa were retained in Appendix II 11 taxa were deleted from Appendix II CoP13-CoP15: 21 species reviews were stopped as the listings were 1 species deleted from 106 taxa selected amended before the Periodic Review was completed Appendix I for review 19 species deleted from Appendix II 1 species transferred from Appendix I to II 62 species reviews ongoing1 4 species to be reconsidered by the CoP15-CoP17 Review (see Annex 2) Period (reviewer required) 1 species review has been completed 1 taxa retained in Appendix I CoP15-CoP17: 1 species review stopped as the listing was amended 1 taxa deleted from 8 taxa selected for before the Periodic Review was completed Appendix II review 5 species reviews ongoing 1 species review needed 6. In October 2013, the Secretariat sent a reminder to the Parties participating in ongoing and pending reviews to report any progress they may have made, and to submit such information for the consideration of the Plants Committee at its 21st meeting. 7. The CITES Secretariat gratefully acknowledges the assistance and support provided by Mr Hesiquio Benítez Díaz, former Vice-Chair of the Plants Committee and Chair of the Working Group on the Periodic Review, in the preparation of the present document. 8. The Plants Committee is invited to note this information and, based on progress reported by Parties on pending reviews, decide on further steps. 1 At PC18 the Committee maintained an intersessional working group on Aloe spp. and Euphorbia spp. – both listed in Appendix I – and Didiereaceae spp. The reviews required under the provisions of the Resolution Conf. 14.8 (Rev. CoP16) were presented in document PC18 Doc. 16.1.1, Annex 5, but it is not clear if there is enough information for the Committee to decide whether or not the listing criteria established by the Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP16) have been met.

    Chapter 10 Chromatid Abnormalities in Meiosis: A Brief Review and a Case Study in the Genus Agave (Asparagales, Asparagaceae) Benjamín Rodríguez‐Garay Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.68974 Abstract The genus Agave is distributed in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world and represents a large group of succulent plants, with about 200 taxa from 136 species, and its center of origin is probably limited to Mexico. It is divided into two subgenera: Littaea and Agave based on the architecture of the inflorescence; the subgenus Littaea has a spicate or racemose inflorescence, while plants of the subgenus Agave have a paniculate inflorescence with flowers in umbellate clusters on lateral branches. As the main conclusion of this study, a hypothesis rises from the described observations: frying pan‐shaped chromosomes are formed by sister chromatid exchanges and a premature kinetochore movement in prophase II, which are meiotic aberrations that exist in these phylogenetic distant species, Agave stricta and A. angustifolia since ancient times in their evolution, and this may be due to genes that are prone to act under diverse kinds of environmental stress. Keywords: tequila, mescal, chromatid cohesion, centromere, inversion heterorozygosity, kinetochore 1.

  • CITES Cop16 Prop. 50 IUCN-TRAFFIC Analysis (PDF
    Ref. CoP16 Prop. 50 Inclusion of Yucca queretaroensis in Appendix II Proponent: Mexico Summary: Yucca queretaroensis is a cold-hardy succulent plant endemic to Mexico where it occurs in the Sierra Madre Oriental in the states of Guanajuato, Querétaro and Hidalgo, specifically in the region known as the “Queretano-Hidalguense Semi-desert”, occupying an estimated area of 600 km2. It has a fragmented distribution, with subpopulations consisting of up to 20 individuals, separated by natural geological barriers such as canyons and steep hillsides. Some populations are relatively inaccessible and part of the habitat of the species is included in protected areas although it is not clear how effective protection is. Other populations are relatively accessible. The overall population is estimated at around 60 000 individuals and regeneration is reportedly limited, being mostly through offsets. Seed is apparently not set every year. The species has not been assessed against the Global IUCN Red List categories and criteria. A recent assessment in Mexico suggests that it could be classified as “at risk of extinction”. Yucca queretaroensis is considered a particularly attractive species of Yucca and is harvested principally as an ornamental plant for both local and international markets. Its relative cold-hardiness is likely to make it of particular interest to collectors in Europe and parts of North America. It is traded mainly as a living plant although trade in seeds also occurs. Locally, its flowers are also used in traditional festivals and the species was historically used in roof- making. Y. queretaroensis is in international trade, both as large, wild-collected plants and as artificially propagated specimens.

  • Cactus Island
    CACTUS ISLAND AFRICA - AMERICA - MADAGASCAR AMERICA’S CACTUS ISLAND This Agave is a spectacular hybrid of green leaves with a red margin. It can be planted in full sun or in sun-shade. It should be planted in well-drained soil and watered once a month. During winter it is advisable not to water it too much to increase its resistance to cold. It is advisable to avoid that the snow accumulates between the leaves. Tª min approx -8 / -10 ºC. AGAVE ARISTOCRAT Agave salmiana var. ferox (Agave ferox) is a variety of the agave of the Salmiana species belonging to the genus Agave and family Asparagaceae. The ferox subspecies is very close to the typical subspecies in terms of description and culture. It differs by having even thicker and stiffer blades, pointed ends (up to 8 cm) and even sharper lateral spines. This is why it is called by that name. Place of origin: Mexico. AGAVE FEROX NOTES: Agaves tolerate arid and semi-desert areas well, in fact, they are usually the only survivors in abandoned gardens. Ideal for plantations that do not need care or irrigation. They prefer sunny and airy places, with well-drained soils. Very little or no watering if the plant grows in full soil. In a pot, they should be watered but very little. Agave lophantha is a plant native to the deserts of Chihuahua and Sonora. It forms a rosette of coriaceous leaves or leaves up to 45cm high and 60cm wide, with jagged edges. The flowers appear grouped in reddish-yellow inflorescences up to 4m high.
