I was asking a nurseryman, last week, about the niceties of distributing red list plants. He wouldn't go into it, just said " to propagate like mad, and distribute far and wide to anyone and every one." As he does himself ! The Australians seemed to get things about right with the Wollemia nobilis, and I think that the same has been done with some Clivias.
