Hybrid or "recombinational" speciation refers to the origin of a new homoploid
species via hybridization between
chromosomally or genetically divergent parental species.

I fetched this from a plant genetics? article
(http://www.intl-pag.org/pag/7/abstracts/pag7070.html)
What it means is they forced plants to cross that normally don't mix.
Very much like mixing horses and donkeys to get mules.
In pansy they are often looking for new colors or super sizing.
