Pratia (prat-ee-uh) is native to Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Pratia grows best in moist, fertile, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade.

Pratia was recognized as a separate genus within the Campanulaceae family. Pratia is now considered synonymous with Lobelia, based on genetic evidence showing their close relationship.
