Hi everyone,
I again have a question
If I have 2 plants, Plant A and Plant B.
1. Plant A
Plant A is a Paph collected from wild.
It looks an ordinary species without any characteristic of neither hybrids nor even natural hybrid at all.
When we do self cross we get some varience within the range that can be accepted as species.
2. Plant B
Plant B is a standard complex Paph. having a standard complex Paph as ancestor.
Plant B's ancestor has been crossed 1,000 times until given birth to Plant B.
When we do sib cross of Plant B with its siblings, all offsprings looks exactly the same, including 1st generation, 2nd generation and 3rd generation.
The question is, which one is more 'True species'? and Why?
