The resulting plants, known as amphiploids, would be fertile. Woods noted that this appeared to be an ongoing process with D. anglica speciating from D. rotundifolia × D. linearis through amphidiploidy in multiple locations.
Fertile plants, identified as amphiploids, were the outcome. Woods noted that this evolutionary process appeared ongoing with D. anglica evolving from D. rotundifolia × D. linearis via multiple locations experiencing amphidiploidy.
