    5 Hybrid animals that have in their recent lineage at least one specimen of species included in Appendix I or II to the Convention are subject to the provisions of the Convention just as if they were full species, even if the hybrid concerned is not specifically included in the Appendices to the Convention. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix I to the Convention, the hybrids are treated as specimens of species included in Appendix I. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix II to the Convention and no specimens in that lineage are included in Appendix I, the hybrids are treated as specimens of species included in Appendix II. For the purposes of this section, recent lineage means the last four generations.

    8 Only the Latin scientific nomenclature has legal status in this Schedule. The English and French common names are included for reference only. The Latin scientific nomenclature is based on the Checklist of CITES Species, compiled by the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre, as amended from time to time. The Checklist has been adopted by the Conference of the Parties in Resolution Conf. 12.11 as an official digest of scientific names contained in the standard CITES references for species included in the Appendices to the Convention and also provides common names, where available, of animals and plants.

    10 When a species is included in one of the Appendices to the Convention, all parts and derivatives of the species are also included in the same Appendix unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific parts and derivatives are included. The symbol “#” followed by a number placed against the name of a species or higher taxon included in Appendix II or III to the Convention refers to a footnote to Part II of this Schedule that indicates the parts or derivatives of plants that are designated as “specimens” subject to the provisions of the Convention in accordance with subparagraph (b)(iii) of Article I.
