Which plant is a species in the Ericaceae family, Gaultheria or Basselinia?
Gaultheria Gaultheria is a genus of about 135 species of shrubs in the family Ericaceae. The name commemorates Jean-François Gauthier of Quebec, an honour bestowed by the Scandinavian Pehr Kalm in 1748 and taken up by Carl Linnaeus in his "Species Plantarum ". These plants are native to Asia, Australasia and North and South America. In the past, the Southern Hemisphere species were often treated as the separate genus "Pernettya", but no consistent reliable morphological or genetic differences support recognition of two genera, and they are now united in the single genus "Gaultheria".
Beaufortia incana Beaufortia incana, commonly known as grey-leaved beaufortia is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low, compact shrub with crowded leaves which appear whitish due to their covering of fine, soft hairs on both surfaces. It has almost spherical heads of red flowers in spring.
