Pieris (plant) Pieris ( or ) is a genus of seven species of shrubs in the family Ericaceae, native to mountain regions of eastern and southern Asia, eastern North America and Cuba. Known commonly in North America as andromedas or fetterbushes, they are broad-leaved evergreen shrubs growing to 1 - tall and 3 - wide. The leaves are spirally arranged, often appearing to be in whorls at the end of each shoot with bare stretches of shoot below; they are lanceolate-ovate, 2 - long and 1.0 - broad, leathery textured, and with an entire or serrated margin. The young leaves in spring are typically brightly coloured. The flowers are bell-shaped, 5 - long, white or pink, and arranged in racemes 5 - long. The fruit is a woody capsule which splits into five sections to release the numerous small seeds.

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 "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".

Gwynia Gwynia capsula is a very small to minute brachiopod (maximally 1.5 mm long), currently known from the east Atlantic (France, Belgium, Netherlands, British Isles), but which occurred during the Pleistocene in what is now Norway. It has a translucent, whitish, purse-shaped shell with relatively large, wide-spaced pits (or punctae). It lives attached to stones or shells (fragments) in between large grains of sand. Like in all brachiopods, it filters food particles, chiefly diatoms and dinoflagellates. "Gwynia capsula" harbors a small number of larvae inside a brood pouch, but it has separate sexes, unlike also very small and pouch brooding "Argyrotheca" and "Joania", which are hermaphrodite.
