Acacia chiapensis x A. cornigera
. Janzen (1967a, 1974) suggested that some of the morphological variation of
Acacia chiapensis
is probably an expression of the introgression of
A. macracantha
and
A. cornigera
genes into the
A. chiapensis
population. He found hybrids to be common in a permanently wet site below the dam at Temascal,
Rio
Chichicazapa
, and at Arroyo
Enmedio
, between Temascal, Oaxaca and La
Granja
, Veracruz, Mexico. On a recent trip (
May 1991
) to Temascal both
A. cornigera
and
A. chiapensis
were common in disturbed sites, but no hybrid individuals were observed.
