Biological Control. 2008. A. C. Blair and U. Schaffner and P. Häfliger and S. K. Meyer and R. A. Hufbauer

"Within the [North American] diffuse knapweed sites, approximately half of the plants surveyed were diffuse-like and half were hybrid-like." ---based on morphology alone

These are bad news bears for me guys. Mostly the first one... but still.
