CONSERVATIVE TAXA ASSIGNMENT. “Hybrids growing in sympatry with their parents cannot necessarily be assumed to have a distinct genepool, and even if certain hybrids show higher fitness than the parents, it needs to be demonstrated that they have the potential to evolve into a coherent group under natural conditions. Before evidence has been collected in this regard, hybrids should rather be recorded as such rather than described as a taxon.”
