Placing a plant species under Schedule VI of The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 means that the plant is considered a "small plant" and is protected in the wild. It cannot be cultivated or extracted from the wild without permission from the relevant authorities. Therefore, the implication is that a license is required to cultivate or extract the plant.
