Abstract
A recent study has documented a natural hybridization event between two fern lineages that last shared a common ancestor about 60 million years ago. This is one of the deepest hybridization events ever described and has important implications for plant speciation theory.Keywords: deep hybridization; ferns; gene flow; speciation
