Pratia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Campanulaceae, native to Asia, Australia and New Zealand. One study has said, "It is clear that the segregate genera Hypsela, Isotoma, and Pratia are no longer applicable to the New Zealand species of Lobeliaceae, and these are henceforth treated as Lobelia."[1]

Pratia angulata (G.Forst.) Hook. f., native to New Zealand
Pratia concolor (R.Br.) Druce (Poison Pratia), native to Australia - New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria
Pratia darlingensis E.Wimm., native to Australia
Pratia irrigua (R.Br.) Benth., native to Australia
Pratia macrodon Hook.f., native to the South Island of New Zealand
Pratia montana (Reinw. ex Blume) Hassk., native to Asia
