[dev.floranorthamerica.org] Allopolyploid Derivative: Morphologic and molecular evidence (K. L. Chambers 1955; C. Irmler et al. 1982; R. S. Wallace and R. K. Jansen 1990) proves that Stebbinsoseris decipiens is an allopolyploid derivative of the hybrid Microseris bigelovii × Uropappus lindleyi. It occurs in a limited area of central coastal California where the parental taxa are sympatric. Diploid hybrids between the parents, produced experimentally (Chambers), had irregular meiosis and were completely seed-sterile. The species is included in Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants of California, ed. 6 (D. P. Tibor 2001). (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
