Natural Hybridization between a Deciduous (Nothofagus antarctica, Nothofagaceae) and an Evergreen (N. dombeyi) Forest Tree Species: Evidence from Morphological and Isoenzymatic Traits

• Background and Aims Trees with a partial leaf-shedding pattern and other morphological features a priori considered intermediate between those of the deciduous Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forster) Oersted and the evergreen N. dombeyi (Mirb.) Oersted (Nothofagaceae) were found in natural stands. The...

Description
Summary:• Background and Aims Trees with a partial leaf-shedding pattern and other morphological features a priori considered intermediate between those of the deciduous Nothofagus antarctica (G. Forster) Oersted and the evergreen N. dombeyi (Mirb.) Oersted (Nothofagaceae) were found in natural stands. The hybridization between a deciduous and an evergreen species of Nothofagus has not been reported so far in natural communities.
