Question: Are Bupleurum and Astelia native to the same areas?
Context: Astelia neocaledonica is a rhizomatous tufted perennial that is endemic to New Caledonia.  The species produces clusters of mauve berries between October and November in the species native range. Australian native police units, consisting of Aboriginal troopers under the command usually of a single white officer, existed in various forms in all Australian mainland colonies during the nineteenth and, in some cases, into the twentieth centuries.  The Native Police were utilised as a cost effective and brutal paramilitary instrument in the expansion and protection of the British colonial frontier in Australia.  Mounted Aboriginal troopers of the Native Police, armed with rifles, carbines and swords escorted surveying groups, pastoralists and prospectors into frontier areas.  They would usually then establish base camps and patrol these areas to enforce warrants, conduct punitive missions against resisting local aboriginal groups, and fulfil various other duties.  To maintain the imperial British method of "divide and conquer" and to reduce desertions, the aboriginals within the Native Police were routinely recruited from areas that were very distant from the frontier places in which they were deployed.  As the troopers were Aboriginal, this benefited the colonists by minimising both the wages of the police and the potential for aboriginal revenge attacks against white people.  It also increased the efficiency of the force as the Aboriginal troopers were vastly superior in their ability to track down dissidents in often poorly charted and difficult terrain. Astelia alpina called pineapple grass, silver astelia, or perching lily is a commonly found species in alpine and subalpine areas of Tasmania and the Australian Alps.  It is a perennial herb that typically dominates its environment by growing in dense clusters, called mats, in alpine bogs.  There are two subspecies: "Astelia alpina" var.  "novae hollandiae" from New South Wales and Victoria and "Astelia alpina" var.  "alpina" endemic to Tasmania.  Both subspecies appear very similar to each other.  The species was originally described by Robert Brown. Astelia trinervia is a species of rhizomatous tufted perennials which is native to New Zealand.  An example occurrence of this species is in the North Island's Hamilton Ecological District where "A. trinervia" occurs in the understory associated with Crown Fern, "Blechnum discolor" and overstory forest elements of rimu and "nothofagus" trees. Collospermum is a genus of plants in the Asteliaceae all native to various islands in the Pacific Ocean, first described as a genus in 1934.  It contains 5 currently recognized species.  It is sometimes considered a synonym of "Astelia". Astelia is a genus of rhizomatous tufted perennials in the family Asteliaceae which are native to various island in the Pacific, Indian, and South Atlantic Oceans, as well as to Australia and to the southernmost tip of South America.  A significant number of the known species are endemic to New Zealand.  The species generally grow in forests, swamps and amongst low alpine vegetation; occasionally they are epiphytic. The North American Native Plant Society (NANPS) is a volunteer-operated registered charitable organization concerned with conserving native plants in wild areas and restoring indigenous flora to developed areas.  It is noted for its work in educating business and the public about the benefits of using native plants, and its work in promoting native species through plant sales and seed exchanges has been credited with the resurgence of some species.  It also maintains a list of local native plant societies across the United States and Canada. Bupleurum is a large genus of annual or perennial herbs or woody shrubs, with about one hundred and ninety species, belonging to the Apiaceae family.  The full size of its species may vary between a few cm to up to 3 m high.  Their compound umbels of small flowers are adorned with bracteoles that are sometimes large and may play a role in attracting pollinators.  Rare among Apiaceae are the simple leaves, bracts (if present) and bracteoles.  The genus is almost exclusively native in the Old World Northern Hemisphere, with one species native to North America and one species native to southern Africa. Astelia nervosa, also known as mountain astelia or, along with a number of other species, as bush flax, is a herbaceous plant native to New Zealand.  "A. nervosa" has long, flexible, leathery leaves that are light green and grey in colour.  The flowers are light brown to red in colour.  The mature fruits are generally orange. Bupleurum lancifolium is a species of flowering plant in the carrot family known by the common name lanceleaf thorow-wax.  It is native to the Mediterranean Basin and it is known elsewhere, including parts of North America, as an introduced species.  It grows up to 50 centimeters tall with a hairless, waxy stem around which leaves are fused at their bases.  The dull, waxy, deep green leaves are narrowly lance-shaped to nearly oval and 3 to 10 centimeters long.  The inflorescence is a compound umbel borne on a peduncle which may be several centimeters tall.  The umbel is surrounded by five wide, round to oval and sometimes pointed bractlets at the base.  The flowers are yellow to yellow-green.
