Astelia is a genus of rhizomatous tufted perennials which are native to the Pacific region as well as the Falkland Islands, Reunion and Mauritius. The species generally grow in forests, swamps and amongst low alpine vegetation; occasionally they are epiphytic. Asteliaceae is the botanical name of a family of flowering plants. Such a family has not been recognized by many taxonomists. The APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998), does recognize this family and places it in the order Asparagales, in the clade monocots. The family then includes a few genera with several dozen species, occurring in the Southern Hemisphere.
