Abstract
Reports of hybrids of Aletris lutea and A. obovata in the area of overlapping distribution in Florida and southern Georgia. Hybrids were only found in disturbed habitats near the parent species. The dispersal of both species and the hybrid was likely facilitated by roadside management. The article discusses the ploidy level of these Aletris species and the hybrid.Suggested Citation
