plants are weird - ping Nick Maclaren

I was aware of the case of male apomixis in Cupressus dupreziana, but it
appears to even weirder than I knew. According to this article in
Arnoldia if you fertilise Cupressus sempervirens with C. dupreziana
pollen what you get is seed of C. dupreziana pollen.

But then vertebrates are also weird - see Rana esculenta.
