Astelia subg. Asteliopsis Skottsb.
Astelia subg. Asteliopsis Skottsb., Kongl. Svenska Vetenskapsakad. Handl. ser. 3, 14(2): 46. 1934.
Note.
Flowers with a short perianth tube (0.2-1.1 mm); anthers dorsifixed, versatile; ovary uni- ( Astelia sect. Desmoneuron ) or trilocular ( Astelia sect. Isoneuron ); seeds obovoid, obovoid-reniform, or turbinate-polygonal; funicle ribbed, mucilaginous funicular hairs well developed that surround but do not adhere to the seed; Type: Astelia trinervia Kirk, designated here.
Remarks.
Phylogenetic analyses indicate that Astelia subg. Asteliopsis , as circumscribed by Skottsberg (1934), is polyphyletic (Birch unpublished PhD thesis 2011, Birch et al. 2012). Astelia subg. Asteliopsis is revised to include Astelia sect. Isoneuron and Astelia sect. Desmoneuron , which form a clade. But, as Astelia sect. Periastelia , is placed in a different clade, it is excluded from Astelia subg. Asteliopsis .
