Astelia subg. Tricella Skottsb.
Astelia subg. Tricella Skottsb., Kongl. Svenska Vetenskapsakad. Handl. ser. 3, 14(2): 58. 1934.
Note.
Flowers with a short ( Astelia sect. Periastelia ) or long ( Astelia sect. Tricella ) perianth tube (0.3-3.5 mm); anthers dorsifixed, versatile; seeds ellipsoid, fusiform, or ovoid; funicle short, truncate, mucilaginous funicular hairs poorly developed; Type: Astelia nervosa Banks & Sol. ex Hook.f., designated here.
Remarks.
Astelia subg. Tricella is revised to include both Astelia sect. Tricella and Astelia sect. Periastelia , which form a well supported clade in phylogenetic analyses (Birch unpublished PhD thesis 2011, Birch et al. 2012). Astelia sect. Periastelia is monophyletic; however Astelia sect. Tricella is present as a grade and relationships within each of these sections remain equivocal.
