Summary A hybrid swarm between Heterocentron elegans and H. glandulosum was analyzed using a number of different methods: construction of a hybrid index; factor analysis; flavonoid composition; and pollen fertility. From these various studies, information is presented concerning the extent and significance of hybridization between the two species. In addition, the different methods of analysis are compared in terms of the type of information that they contribute.
