Unusual patterns of hybridization involving two alpine Salvia species: Absence of both F1 and backcrossed hybrids

Natural hybridization plays an important role in speciation; however, we still know little about the mechanisms underlying the early stages of hybrid speciation. Hybrid zones are commonly dominated by F1s, or backcrosses, which impedes further speciation. In the present study, morphological traits a...
