You sound like a horticulturist when you dismiss a plant as being a

hybrid. They always confuse cultivars with hybrids.

If Ananas comosus is a hybrid, what are the parent species?


There are more than one species in the genus Ananas, so you have a few to

choose from!

This does not seem to require comment except
- "one species" is singular so it should be "There is more than one species"
- if a plant is a hybrid then there should be at least two parents, making
three species already, so "there is more than one species in the genus ..."
is a self-evident and redundant statement
- Ananas has some eight species which does not seem like a big genus to me?
