Abstract

A north central Texas Baptisia (Fabaceae, Thermopsideae) hybrid complex containing three parents (B. australis, B. sphaerocarpa, and B. bracteata) and the three F₁ hybrids is investigated using morphological, spectrophotometric, and isozyme electrophoretic methods. Two of the three hybrids (B. x bushii and B. x bicolor) have been previously named, but the B. australis x B. sphaerocarpa hybrid (B. x variicolor) is here described for the first time. This is the first report of sympatric occurrence of these three Baptisia species and all the possible F₁ hybrids. Morphological evidence for introgressive hybridization involving B. australis and B. sphaerocarpa is presented.
