What is "archeria"

Archeria was an eel-like anthracosaur which lived in the Early Permian. It was medium-sized aquatic predator with a length of 2 m (7 ft).

Archeria is a small genus of shrubs in the heath family ( Ericaceae). As currently circumscribed the group includes six species, all native to southern Australasia. Four of these are endemic to Tasmania, and the other two endemic to New Zealand.

It does not contain any economically important taxa, but due to their attractive small tubular flowers, reticulate leaf venation, and limited distribution, the shrubs have a long history of being admired by Australasian naturalists.

Archeria can refer to two very different taxonomic genera:

• Archeria (animal), relates to an extinct eel like animal
• Archeria (plant), a genus of shrubs in the heath family
