Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation A new subspecies of Armeria filicaulis is described.
- Observation Nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences reveal gene flow between the new taxon and A. villosa subsp. bernisii at one sympatric site.
- Observation The gene flow is congruent with RAPD data and chloroplast trnL-F haplotypes.
- Mechanism The gene flow was not responsible for the origin of the new subspecies, which is a more recent event.
- Mechanism The compilospecies model fits the evolution of Armeria filicaulis, though less closely than for A. villosa.
