Are Genista and Callicarpa in the same family?
Genista Genista is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae, native to open habitats such as moorland and pasture in Europe and western Asia. They include species commonly called broom, though the term may also refer to other genera, including "Cytisus" and "Chamaecytisus". Brooms in other genera are sometimes considered synonymous with "Genista": "Echinospartum", "Retama", "Spartium", "Stauracanthus", and "Ulex".
Callitris Callitris is a genus of coniferous trees in the Cupressaceae (cypress family). There are 16 recognized species in the genus, of which 13 are native to Australia and the other three ("C. neocaledonica, C. sulcata") native to New Caledonia. Traditionally, the most widely used common name is cypress-pine, a name shared by some species of the closely related genus "Actinostrobus".
