The genus is widely dispersed over the temperate regions of N. and S. America, as well . » 
along the range of the Andes, more sparingly in Eastern Asia, the mountains of tropical Asia 
and in S Africa. Of the 4 Australian species, 1 is closely allied to, if not identical with, a 
common one in Asia and Africa, another extends to New Zealand, the remaining 2 are 
endemic. — Benth.
