To examine the hybrid origin of the diploid grassCalamagrostis longisetavar.longe-aristata, we performed morphometric and genetic analyses of this taxon and its putative parental taxa. The morphometric analyses revealed that, in general,C. longisetavar.longe-aristatais morphologically intermediate betweenC. longisetavar.longisetaandC. fauriei. Previous studies have reported that some hybrids exhibit transgressive characters but others do not; the latter is the case forC. longisetavar.longe-aristata. Their absence may be due to the ecological adaptation to environments intermediate between those inhabited by the putative parental taxa, and therefore the transgressive characters have not been selected. Nevertheless, there is no direct evidence for adaptive value of the characters examined in this study and only a small part of all characters potentially responsible for adaptation was investigated. An alternative hypothesis about the absence of transgressive characters inC. longisetavar.longe-aristatais that it is at an early stage of hybrid speciation. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analyses showed that individuals ofC. longisetavar.longe-aristatawere placed in both of the clusters formed by each putative parental taxon. Greater genetic diversity was observed inC. longisetavar.longe-aristatathan in its putative parental taxa. All here reported findings support the scenario thatC. longisetavar.longe-aristatais of hybrid origin, having evolved fromC. longisetavar.longisetaandC. fauriei.
