- How many do you want? Speciation by allopolyploidy is so common it is almost
- silly. Read any good text on plant genetics - it should list several cases,
- complete with references to the primary literature. [In fact in some groups
- it is so prevalent that botanists have not even bothered to name the various
- species - for instance Kentucky Blue Grass is actually a multi-species complex,
- but only one of them is named - Poa pratensis].

- If you are really too lazy to go to the local university to check this out,
- I can try to dig up something from my old college text books at home.
