Zephyr Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sure. What leads you to think otherwise? The seller has them labeled as hybrids. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt K Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 What does hybrid mean? Zepher- Hybrids of what and what? Hibiscusmile- Hybrid means that two different species were sexually compatible and bred to produce offspring that is genetically some of each parent. An example in mammals would be the breeding of a lion and a tiger, which produces the hybrid called "liger" if you want to Google it.

Allpet Roaches Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I strongly believe that nobody has crossed anything with B. discoidalis. The term hybrid also refers to crosses of different races, subspecies, breeds or cultivars of the same species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugmanPrice Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 ...or you can apparently use it when you don't know what you have exactly and you find the closest taxon you know and call it a hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
