Abstract: The invasion of two alien Carpobrotus (Aizoaceae) taxa purportedly present on islands in the Mediterranean Basin is discussed. The comparison of genomic characteristics and the relative fitnesses of parental and hybrid progenies will help to clarify the future effects of hybridization on the progress of severe invasion.
