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 ''ラテン語: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''.
==Description==
The species vary from low, ground-hugging shrubs less than tall, up to tall, or, in the case of ''G. fragrantissima'' from the Himalaya, even a small tree up to tall. The leaves are evergreen, alternate (opposite in ''G. oppositifolia'' from New Zealand), simple, and vary between species from long; the margins are finely serrated or bristly in most species, but entire in some. The flowers are solitary or in racemes, bell-shaped, with a five-lobed (rarely four-lobed) corolla; flower colour ranges from white to pink to red. The fruit is a fleshy berry in many species, a dry capsule in some, with numerous small seeds.
