Astelia (name alluding to epiphytic character of some species). Liliaceae. Greenhouse plants with racemes or panicles of small flowers. Astelias are perennial herbs of about a dozen species in New Zeal., Austral, and the Pacific Isis., with Lvs. all radical or crowded at the base of the st., belonging to the Dracaena tribe: fls. small and dioecious; perianth 6-parted, persistent, the parts spreading or reflexed; stamens 6, attached to base of corolla-parts; staminodia present in pistillate fls., the ovary sessile, 1-3- celled: fr. an indehiscent somewhat fleshy and globose berry. In New Zeal., the astelias form a prominent part of the vegetation. The species are confused. Two or 3 New Zeal, species have been sparingly intro. to cult. abroad, as: A. Cunninghamii, Hook, f., with 1-celled fr.: fls. numerous and small, greenish yellow or reddish yellow or maroon: a densely tufted species, epiphytic or terrestrial, with Lvs. 2-5 ft. long and scape 1-3 ft. B.M.5175. A. Banksii, Cunn., with 3-celled fr.: fls. larger (about ¼ in. long), many, greenish: densely tufted, large, the Lvs. 2-6 ft. A. Solandri, Cunn., with 3-celled fr.: fls. very numerous and lemon-yellow, ½ in. long: densely tufted, often making large clumps on trees and rocks, the Lvs. 2-5 ft. B.M. 5503.
