Microsatellite markers for the biogeographically enigmatic sandmyrtle (, Phyllodoceae: Ericaceae).

Premise: Microsatellite markers were developed for sandmyrtle, (Ericaceae), to facilitate phylogeographic studies in this taxon and possibly many of its close relatives.

Methods And Results: Forty-eight primer pairs designed from paired-end Illumina MiSeq data were screened for robust amplification. Sixteen pairs were amplified again, but with fluorescently labeled primers to facilitate genotyping.
