Are both Boronia and Escobaria native to the same continent?
Boronia Boronia is a genus of about 160 species of flowering plants in the citrus family Rutaceae, most are endemic in Australia with a few species in New Caledonia, which were previously placed in the genus "Boronella". They occur in all Australian states but the genus is under review and a number of species are yet to be described or the description published. Boronias are similar to familiar plants in the genera "Zieria", "Eriostemon" and "Correa" but can be distinguished from them by the number of petals or stamens. Some species have a distinctive fragrance and are popular garden plants.
Eryx jayakari Eryx jayakari, known commonly as the Arabian sand boa or Jayakar's sand boa, is a species of snake in the Boidae family. It is endemic to the Arabian Peninsula and Iran where it spends the day buried in the sand. Both the specific name, "jayakari", and one of the common names, Jayakar's sand boa, are in honor of Atmaran S. G. Jayakar (1844–1911), an Indian surgeon and naturalist.
