Abstract
This study examined variation in morphology for 49 populations of Muhlenbergia montana (Nutt.) Hitchc. and M. quadridentata (H.B.K.) Kunth representing the sympatric range of the species. These and previous results suggest the formation of hybrid swarms between the two species. Suspected hybridization is confirmed by the morphometric analysis of the species growing in this area. Flavonoid profiles, anatomical, and cytological features seem to support this theory.
