Prospects of natural hybridization between P. obovata Ledeb and P. ajanensis (Lindl. et Gord.) Fisch. ex Carr), the main forest species of dark coniferous forests in the Siberian-Russian Far-Eastern area, are examined. Judging from the literature, they form a large-scale introgressive complex. On the basis of the study of polymorphism of the main morphological features that characterize these species as individual taxonomic units, it was concluded that there is an absence of natural hybridization between P. obovata and P. ajanensis in the regions of Siberia and the Russian Far East.
