It varies widely. Apparently for humans & other primates it took millions of
years. For orchids & some other plants which colonize a newly disturbed site in
the jungle, it may only take a few generations.

What are the mechanisms that effect the event?

Sorry, that can not be explained in a short e-mail. You need to consult a few
books on the subject, starting with the Origin of Species.

Is natural law but a subset of a Creator?

Maybe. Consult your clergyman.

Years have passed during my search for a citation of such an event.
What is your reference?

Nor can it be explained in a long e-mail, for no one can explain it.
Correct me with sensible documetation if I err. My garage holds thirty
cases of books that cover the subject, and I have disrespectfully
dog-eared them all.

In keeping this botany related I offer that manipulation of energy
effects changes in the taxonomical identity of a flora species. I
learned to do this from cross-disciplined study of current physics
and Torah/Septuagint/Zohar. No hocus-pocus involved.

The truth of evolution is far more awe-inspiring than the Creationists'
nonsense. There is a new form of Creationism called Grand Design which they are
trying to sneak into the public schools. They are ignoring the fact that each

From the side lines I watch this debate without judgement and continue
to follow my own curiosity down the bioelectromagnetic rabbit hole.
Too many questions yet aound for any rational student of life to take
a hard and fast position on either side of the argument.
For example, how fast can a new species arise from the existing stock
of species? What are the mechanisms that effect the event? Is natural
law but a subset of a Creator?

Too bad none of those subjects say anything at all about genetics, botany or
even basic biology. Otherwise you might actually have an inkling to how
living organisms reproduce and evolve over time.

Maybe you should go back to school to enlighten your ape brain?

Cereoid, the poor fellow is obviously a schizophrenic, like Archimedes. Let's
not make fun of him. It is sad that he has a garage full of books on evolution
or related subjects, and doesn't understand any of them. Stick to needling the
students who want us to do their term-paper research.

Perhaps Senecio eboracensis (see http://www.bsbi.org.uk/Volume_24.htm).

You might find something in Verne Grant's "Plant Speciation".

There's supposed to be new orchid species which have appeared on coal
tips in central Scotland, but I wasn't able to find a reference in
Google.

There's always polyploid speciation, which takes place in one
generation.

A creationist accusing somebody else of prejudging. Now, that is a real knee
slapper of a joke!

If you haven't learned how by now, it is far too late for you to understand,
Gawkward.

Your creator apparently doesn't consider you worthy enough to know the
truth.
After all, you are only a lame webtver too cheap to invest in a real
computer!
Your web appliance? Is that something like the helmet you wear so that you
don't hurt your head with that poorly developed monkey brain?

Read "Numbers In Nature". A study of fractal science would be a good
followup. Chase that with Euler-Escher-Bach to get a handle on the
relevance to botany. That's when you go beyond the trees and see the
forest with its symphonic energies. Closer to your comprehension is
the new-on-the-market product soluble rice bran: Rice-X, Risotriene.
Reduce the analysis of the product to numbers and see the synergies
along with our follies. IOW, Periodic Law governs all disciplines of
science. In Periodic law there are key numbers that can be used as cue
balls on the billiard table of life.
Do your homework. It's all there on the
www.

The real world transcends your limited imagination. I'm laughing all
the way to the bank. Try reading "Infinity and the Mind" by Rudy
Rucker. Sit and listen with your eyes to the energies of an econiche
at a brook and watch it change through the seasons. Become friends
with a Red-Tailed Hawk and watch it become accustomed to your regular
presence as it rears its eyasses in an ancient Cottonwood tree. Air
layer a vine and plant the cutting in specially prepared soil, then
watch it take the form of a tree. Imagination born of disciplined
vision, blood, sweat, tears and faith has brought us all out of the
caves. Go back in and stay if you wish; just dont try to drag others
with you.
