Abstract excerpt
Tertiary relict flora in East Asia can be divided into northern and southern regions. North China is a diversity hotspot because it can be the secondary contact zone of ancient lineages from the two regions. To test the extent of ancient lineages hybridization and distinguish between the putative species pair Acer pictum subsp. mono and Acer truncatum, we conducted genetic and ecological studies within a maple...
