Which genus contains roughly 75 species of trees and shrubs, Berberidopsis or Bunchosia?
Bunchosia Bunchosia is a genus in the Malpighiaceae, a family of about 75 genera of flowering plants in the order Malpighiales. It contains roughly 75 species of trees and shrubs, which are native to dry woodlands, savannas, and wet forests. Their range extends from Mexico and the Caribbean to southeastern Brazil and adjacent Argentina. "Bunchosia" is one of three arborescent genera of Malpighiaceae with fleshy, bird-dispersed fruits.
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.
