Which plant is a species in the Ericaceae family, Gaultheria or Basselinia?
Basselinia Basselinia is a genus of flowering plant in the Arecaceae family. The entire genus is endemic to the Island of New Caledonia in the Pacific. In some (but not all) molecular phylogenetic analyses, "Hedyscepe" from Lord Howe Island is nested in "Basselinia".
Elatinaceae Elatinaceae is a family of flowering plants with ca 35 (to perhaps 50) species in two genera: "Elatine" and "Bergia". The "Elatine" are mostly aquatic herbs, and the "Bergia" are subshrubs to shrubs. "Elatine" species are widely distributed throughout the world from temperate to tropical zones, with its greatest diversity found in temperate zones. "Bergia" is found in temperate to tropical Eurasia and Africa, with two tropical and one tropical to temperate species in the Americas. The center for biodiversity of "Bergia" is the Old World tropics, and this is also the center for biodiversity for the family. Neither genus is found in arctic ecosystems.
