I usually list genera by families, and specific countries. The permit came back listing "all eligible species" from "all eligible countries." That covers it all quite nicely." Jim, How do you deal with the multitude of species and the multitude of countries of origin? E.g. do Zephyranthes from Mexico have to be separated from the same genus from Argentina? And after the permit is issued, what if you decide that you want to import some zephyranthes seed from Indonesia and hadn't listed it? I just tried to apply on line and found that I needed to establish an e-authentication account. So I started that process, but can't get back into the site through my new login. And then I see that I have to take a picture ID to a USDA office to get the account activated. So, I'll try again to apply the old fashioned paper way.
