Pratia

Pratia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Campanulaceae, native to Asia, Australia and New Zealand. One study has said, "It is clear that the segregate genera Hypsela, Isotoma, and Pratia are no longer applicable to the New Zealand species of Lobeliaceae, and these are henceforth treated as Lobelia."[1]
