Garg" <[email protected]> Since joining this group, I have not noticed any suggestions that hybridisation MIGHT be a complicating factor in any genus IN THE WILD? The only mention of hybrids I can quickly locate is for cultivated plants. There are quite a number of Geraniums in the Himalaya. Distinguishing between them is often no easy matter. But what about hybridisation, where populations overlap? Could this be a complicating factor? Geraniums cross readily in cultivation both with unintentional and deliberate crosses due to breeding. In correspondence with Peter Yeo, he recognised two "separate" species which were similar growing less than 50m apart at a location in Lahaul. Pollinating bees could easily travel such short distances.
