I see your point, however I was addressing the fact that he smuggled the plant. My point regarding discovery of plants is that many "discoverers" were also smugglers in the pay of wealthy Europeans. I never made any statements that Kovach used a claim of deforestation. I was merely discussing that not all plant smugglers are cut from the same cloth.
Why should he get his name on it? Because that's the way the system works and he (at least the authors did) beat the others to publication. Honestly, if not for the importance of this flower, would we even be talking about this situation?
