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".
Ericameria gilmanii Ericameria gilmanii is a rare North American species of flowering plants in the aster family known by the common names Gilman's ericameria, Gilman's goldenbush, Gilman goldenweed, and whiteflower goldenbush. It is endemic to California, where it has been found in and east of the southern Sierra Nevada, in Inyo County and on Owens Peak in northeastern Kern County. It is a poorly known plant. There are six known populations, but only one has been observed in the last 20 years.
