Ushadi
Two being grown side by side should be no problem as well established
species (biological species concept, and thankfully most species which are
biologically distinct-i.e. have breeding barriers at various levels, are
also taxonomically (morphologically) distinct) would remain distinct. Those
which intermix or either merged, except when they are separated naturally
in space: the classical example of American and Oriental Platanus-the
vicariants.
Sorry, Ushadi. For a moment I forgot that you are many many miles ahead
of me in knowledge of population genetics and molecular biology.
