We identified 16 polymorphic nuclear microsatellite loci from an AG‐enriched library of Ceratopetalum apetalum . These loci were tested across two populations of C. apetalum , a single population of C. gummiferum and representatives of four other congeneric taxa. Fourteen loci were identified as polymorphic in at least one other species. These microsatellites will be used to look at population dynamics of species with varying distributions and presumed low dispersal capabilities within the genus Ceratopetalum .
