Abstract excerpt
Homoploid hybrid speciation has generally been viewed as a rare evolutionary phenomenon, with relatively few well-documented cases in nature. Here, we investigate the origin of Stephanomeria diegensis, a diploid flowering plant species that has been proposed to have arisen as a result of hybridization between S. exigua and S. virgata. Across the range of S. diegensis, all individuals share a common chloroplast...
