Default Are apple and peach genetically related (and how)?

Xref: 127.0.0.1 sci.bio.botany:17706

PS: Really nitpicking, it is best not to mix Greek and Latin in one term,

so preferably it is either "monotypic" or "unispecific" ...

Google: 67 hits for unispecific; 8420 for monospecific. (And 9880 for
monotypic.)

Lycos:
"monotypic": 15414
"monospecific": 5072
"unispecific": 40
Some cross-language hybrids are even more popular, notably "automobile".
This does not mean that a little care in using language is not a good idea.
