Question: Are the genus Elodea and Pinellia native to the same areas of the world ?
Context: Pinellia is a genus of plants in the family Araceae native to East Asia (China, Korea, Japan).  Its species are commonly called green dragons due to the color and shape of the inflorescence, which possesses a green, hooded spathe from which protrudes a long, tongue-like extension of the spadix.  The leaves vary greatly in shape among different species, from simple and cordate to compound with three to many leaflets.  "Pinellia" reproduces rapidly from seed and many species also produce bulbils on the leaves.  Both characteristics have allowed some species to become weedy in temperate areas outside their native range, notably "Pinellia ternata" in eastern North America. Iguana ( , ] ) is a genus of herbivorous lizards that are native to tropical areas of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.  The genus was first described in 1768 by Austrian naturalist Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in his book "Specimen Medicum, Exhibens Synopsin Reptilium Emendatam cum Experimentis circa Venena".  Two species are included in the genus "Iguana": the green iguana, which is widespread throughout its range and a popular pet, and the Lesser Antillean iguana, which is native to the Lesser Antilles and endangered due to habitat destruction. The red imported fire ant ("Solenopsis invicta"), also known as the fire ant or RIFA, is a species of ant native to South America.  A member of the genus "Solenopsis" in the subfamily Myrmicinae, it was described by Swiss entomologist Felix Santschi as a variant in 1916.  Its current name "invicta" was given to the ant in 1972 as a separate species.  However, the variant and species were the same ant, and the name was preserved due to its wide use.  The red imported fire ant is native to South America but it has been accidentally introduced in Australia, New Zealand, several Asian and Caribbean countries and the United States.  The red imported fire ant is polymorphic as workers appear in different shapes and sizes.  The ant's colours are red and somewhat yellowish with a brown or black gaster.  However, males are completely black.  Red imported fire ants are dominant in altered areas and live in a wide variety of habitats.  They can be found in rain forests, in disturbed areas, deserts, grasslands, alongside roads and buildings, and in electrical equipment.  Colonies form large mounds constructed from dirt with no visible entrances because foraging tunnels are built and workers emerge far away from the nest. Elodea is a genus of 6 species of aquatic plants often called the waterweeds described as a genus in 1803.  "Elodea" is native to North and South America and is also widely used as aquarium vegetation.  It lives in fresh water. Eucalyptus L'Héritier 1789 is a diverse genus of flowering trees and shrubs (including a distinct group with a multiple-stem mallee growth habit) in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae.  Members of the genus dominate the tree flora of Australia, and include "Eucalyptus regnans", the tallest known flowering plant on Earth.  There are more than 700 species of eucalyptus and most are native to Australia; a very small number are found in adjacent areas of New Guinea and Indonesia.  One species, "Eucalyptus deglupta," ranges as far north as the Philippines.  Of the 15 species found outside Australia, just nine are exclusively non-Australian.  Species of eucalyptus are cultivated widely in the tropical and temperate world, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East, China, and the Indian subcontinent.  However, the range over which many eucalypts can be planted in the temperate zone is constrained by their limited cold tolerance.  Australia is covered by 92000000 ha of eucalypt forest, comprising three quarters of the area covered by native forest. Banksia sessilis, commonly known as parrot bush, is a species of shrub or tree in the plant genus "Banksia" in the family Proteaceae.  It had been known as Dryandra sessilis until 2007, when the genus "Dryandra" was sunk into "Banksia".  The Noongar peoples know the plant as Budjan or Butyak.  Widespread throughout southwest Western Australia, it is found on sandy soils over laterite or limestone, often as an understorey plant in open forest, woodland or shrubland.  Encountered as a shrub or small tree up to 6 m in height, it has prickly dark green leaves and dome-shaped cream-yellow flowerheads.  Flowering from winter through to late spring, it provides a key source of food—both the nectar and the insects it attracts—for honeyeaters in the cooler months, and species diversity is reduced in areas where there is little or no parrot bush occurring.  Several species of honeyeater, some species of native bee, and the European honey bee seek out and consume the nectar, while the long-billed black cockatoo and Australian ringneck eat the seed.  The life cycle of "Banksia sessilis" is adapted to regular bushfires.  Killed by fire and regenerating by seed afterwards, each shrub generally produces many flowerheads and a massive amount of seed.  It can recolonise disturbed areas, and may grow in thickets. The mimic shiner ("Notropis volucellus") is a species of North American cyprinid freshwater fish in the genus "Notropis".  The genus "Notropis" is commonly known as the eastern shiners.  It is native to areas of the Hudson Bay drainage, Great Lakes drainage, much of the Mississippi River basin including areas of Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, and regions of the Gulf of Mexico extending from Mobile Bay to the drainage of Texas.  However, this particular species can be found in other places such as the Atlantic Coast drainage in Connecticut and Housatonic rivers.  This genus is usually characterized by almost all having a complete lateral line, 8 dorsal fin rays, a premaxillae protactile, and a silvery or speckled peritoneum.  As the common name indicates, this species is difficult to classify in the wild because it looks similar to many other shiners.  In fact, some even hypothesize that this species is actually a complexity of many cryptic species.  While this is the case, it is important to take more caution to not misidentify this species and to understand its impact on introduced areas. Dischidia is a genus of plants in the Milkweed family, Apocynaceae.  They are epiphytes native to tropical areas of China, India and most areas of Indo-China.  "Dischidia" are closely aligned with the sister genus "Hoya".  Unlike "Hoya", the genus "Dischidia" is poorly known and has not been studied as closely. Torilis japonica, the erect hedgeparsley, upright hedge-parsley or Japanese hedge parsley, is a plant species in the genus "Torilis".  Japanese Hedgeparsley is considered both an annual and biennial plant in the carrot family depending on the biogeographical location.  This means Japanese Hedgeparsley can complete its life cycle in either one or two growing seasons depending on habitat.  Japanese Hedgeparsley is typically found in areas with disturbed soils, pastures, margins, open woodland, near waste sites, or right-of-way habitats.  It can withstand a variety of habitats, thriving in partial and full shaded areas, but also withstanding habitats with full sunlight penetration.  It is considered an aggressive invasive species in North America; invading a wide range of habitats due to its environmental tolerance and tendency to outcompete native vegetation.  This species is considered a threat in several areas that causes problems relating to overall environmental health and stability.  Aside from its environmental implications, T. japonica has potential to fight several cancers through a terpene it produces called Torilin, extracted from its fruits. Tillandsia is a genus of around 650 species of evergreen, perennial flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, native to the forests, mountains and deserts of Central and South America, the southern United States and the West Indies.  They have naturally been established in diverse environments such as equatorial tropical rain forests, high elevation Andes mountains, rock dwelling (saxicolous) regions, and Louisiana swamps, such as Spanish Moss ("T. usneoides"), a species that grows atop tree limbs.  Airplant is a common name for plants in this genus.  Most "Tillandsia" species are epiphytes – i.e. they normally grow without soil while attached to other plants.  Some are aerophytes or "air plants", which have no roots and grow on shifting desert soil.  Generally, the thinner-leafed varieties grow in rainy areas and the thick-leafed varieties in areas more subject to drought.  Most species absorb moisture and nutrients through the leaves from rain, dew, dust, decaying leaves and insect matter, aided by structures called trichomes.
