Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Four species were tentatively recognized: C. viminea, C. fargesii, C. laxiflora and C. londoniana.
- Observation The four species were mostly allopatric, apart from rare overlap of C. fargesii and C. londoniana.
- Observation Morphological delimitation, species boundaries and distributions differed from previous treatments.
- Observation Hybrids of C. fargesii and C. londoniana resembled C. viminea morphologically.
- Mechanism Local selection and geographic isolation may have promoted phenotypic and genetic divergence.
- Mechanism Interspecific hybridization blurs species boundaries by producing phenotypically similar hybrids.
