“…Astelia pumila belongs to Asteliaceae, a small-sized family with three genera and 36 species from the circum-Pacific region, with most species occurring in the Southern Hemisphere (Birch, 2015). They grow in a variety of habitats, i.e., in forests, alpine fellfields and wetlands (Bayer, Appel & Rudall, 1998).…”

“…The infrafamilial phylogenetic relationships were established by Birch, Keeley & Morden (2012), based on DNA sequence data from chloroplast ( trnL , psbA-trnH , rps16 and petL-psbE ) and nuclear ( NIA-i3 ) regions. Birch (2015) revised the infrageneric classification of Astelia , but the placement of sect. Micrastelia , containing only A. pumila , remained unresolved ( incertae sedis ).…”

Astelia pumila (G.Forst.) Gaudich. (Asteliaceae, Asparagales) is a major element of West Patagonian cushion peat bog vegetation. With the aim to identify appropriate chloroplast markers for the use in a phylogeographic study, the complete chloroplast genomes of five A. pumila accessions from almost the entire geographical range of the species were assembled and screened for variable positions. The chloroplast genome sequence was obtained via a mapping approach, using Eustrephus latifolius (Asparagaceae) as a reference. The chloroplast genome of A. pumila varies in length from 158,215 bp to 158,221 bp, containing a large single copy region of 85,981–85,983 bp, a small single copy region of 18,182–18,186 bp and two inverted repeats of 27,026 bp. Genome annotation predicted a total of 113 genes, including 30 tRNA and four rRNA genes. Sequence comparisons revealed a very low degree of intraspecific genetic variability, as only 37 variable sites (18 indels, 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms, one 3-bp mutation)—most of them autapomorphies—were found among the five assembled chloroplast genomes. A Maximum Likelihood analysis, based on whole chloroplast genome sequences of several Asparagales accessions representing six of the currently recognized 14 families (sensu APG IV), confirmed the phylogenetic position of A. pumila. The chloroplast genome of A. pumila is the first to be reported for a member of the astelioid clade (14 genera with c. 215 species), a basally branching group within Asparagales.

Astelia australiana is a robust understorey plant with a highly restricted distribution in southeastern Australia. Here we report its complete plastid genome. The genome was 157,943 bp in length and comprises a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 27,028 bp separated by a large single-copy region (LSC) of 85,699 bp, and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,188 bp. The GC content was 37.7%. In total, 132 genes were annotated including 81 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 38 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of the PCGs from A. australiana aligned with those from 10 Asparagales representatives confirms that, based on these taxa, A. australiana is sister to A. pumila and sits within the Asteliaceae.
