The ANHAT database has 3316 records for 18 species and subspecies of Asteliaceae.
No species of Asteliaceae are considered extinct.
Three species account for approximately 50% of the total species records in ANHAT
(
Table 326). These species have over 350 records each.

Three species had 30 or fewer individual site records in the ANHAT database (
Table 327). Of those species, one species is classified as vulnerable. There are too
few species to reasonably attempt to determine any patterns in this category.
Exclusion of these poorly recorded species eliminates 75 records.

Removal of the poorly recorded species leaves 3241 records in ANHAT for 15
species (and subspecies). The mean number of records per species for species with
greater than 30 records was 216, with a mean 61% of records in the NRS. This is a
high level of reservation compared to most other families.
Ten species of Asteliaceae had 45% or greater of individual site records located
