Extreme Multiple Reticulate Origins of the Pteris cadieri Complex (Pteridaceae)

The Pteris cadieri complex displays extensive morphological variation and seems to have originated through hybridization. However, the members of this complex reproduce by apogamy, which usually limits genetic variation. To evaluate the hypotheses of hybrid origins, the pattern of evolution in this...
