Outcomes of extensive hybridization and introgression in Epidendrum (orchidaceae): Can we rely on species boundaries?

Hybridization has the potential to contribute to phenotypic and genetic variation and can be a major evolutionary mechanism. However, when hybridization is extensive it can also lead to the blurring of species boundaries and the emergence of cryptic species (i.e., two or more species not distinguish...
