Region and P. occidentalis of America; Catalpa ovata  of China and Japan and 
C. bignonioides of America. Several other examples include Pinus jeffreyi

Dear colleagues,

can you please give me some examples of different Species belonging to the
same Taxa on higher level (= genera,Subfamily) which lives on different
continents. Especially I'm interested in knowing about  higher Taxa which
contains Species who have their distribution area in Asia (Species A) and
South America (Species B).

With best regards,     Volker
