Historical hybridization and asymmetric introgression in two sympatric species of Paepalanthus (Eriocaulaceae)

While interspecific hybridization is a recognized key driver of plant diversification in recently diverged lineages, the resulting introgression can generate complex patterns of genetic and morphological variation that often challenge the recognition of species boundaries. In Paepalanthus (Eriocaulaceae), intersp...
