Thanks to all of you for your thoughtful responses. I work with ESA species impacts and am familiar with the restrictions on handling these protected plants. Not to get too technical, but there may be a requirement that an ESA section 10(a)1(A) permit be extended to the public before that could happen, but what Mitzi says about keeping a tag on the plant makes perfect sense. In my mind, whatever it takes to keep these species from extinction is worth a try (well, within reason anyway).

Mahalo nui,
