Alyxia minimiflora Lannuzel , sp.nov. ( Figs 8 View FIGURE 8 , 10 View FIGURE 10 ), (urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77336419-1)

Diagnosis: — Alyxia minimiflora is a small dense shrub characterised by its small linear leaves, and small flowers. It is similar to A. rosmarinifolia (Baill.) Guillaumin by its linear leaves and small flowers, but differs from it by shorter flowers (1.5 mm vs 2 mm in A. rosmarinifolia ), a primary inflorescence axis of 1 mm (vs ca 3 mm in A. rosmarinifolia ) and densely pubescent young shoots.

Type: — NEW CALEDONIA, South Province, Pic aux chèvres, elev. 270 m, 22°11'38"S, 166°27'37"E, 5 May 2022, Lannuzel, Foord & Pouget 634, holotype: NOU [ NOU108945 !] GoogleMaps ; isotype: P [P01139656!]

Small shrub, up to 50 cm, young stems densely pubescent; latex white. Leaves ternate, subcoriaceous, green adaxially, light green abaxially when young, flat, petiole 1.5–2.8 mm long, pubescent, lamina linear, 10–30 × 1.4–2 mm; base cuneate, apex rounded, mucronate, both surfaces looking lustrous but with sparse and very short hairs (ca. 0.01 mm long) on main veins abaxially, leaf venation not visible apart from the midrib. Flowers axillary, grouped in trichasial cymes, axes green, pubescent, null to 1.7 mm, pedicels 0.2 × 0.8 mm covered by 1 caduceous bract, ca. 1 × 1 mm, reddish, pubescent.

Flower 5-merous,1.6–1.9 × 0.5–1 mm. Calyx lobes appressed to corolla, widely triangular, acute to obtuse at apex, ca. 0.5 × 0.5 mm, green, glabrous, but with ciliate margin. Corolla tube pale orange, lobes creamy to yellowish, tube ca. 1.6 × 0.8 mm, glabrous outside, with only 1 ring of hairs inside, below anthers and stigma, composed of 0.2 mm long appressed hairs, lobes sinistrorse, rounded, glabrous with slightly ciliate apex, recurved at anthesis.

Anther cone 0.5 mm long, not exserted; filaments 0.1 mm long, inserted at 2/3 of tube length. Ovary ca. 0.5 × 0.3 mm, hairy at base with 0.1 mm long hairs, style 0.4 mm long, glabrous, stigma ovoid, obtuse, hairy at top. Fruit green then black when ripe, fleshy, 1 article, 6–7 x 4–5 mm, ovoid.

Distribution and habitat: — Alyxia minimiflora is known from only one population, located on Pic aux chèvres peak, Dumbéa, near Nouméa. It is a rupicolous plant growing only on top of schistaceous cliffs, ca. 250 m elev. where another narrow-range species, Austrocallerya australis (Endl.) J.Compton & Schrire is also known.

Phenology:— From the few specimens available, A. minimiflora is known to flower between March and May. Fruits are only known from the type specimen, in May.

Etymology: —The species is the Alyxia with the shortest flowers in New Caledonia, thus justifying the epithet minimiflora .

Notes:— MacKee & Suprin 45389 and Veillon 7334 were included in A. tisserantii by Middleton (2002) and not yet gathered when Boiteau (1981) published the flora. They however show perfect matching with the type specimen and were collected in the same locality. As circumscribed here, A. tisserantii has much longer flowers (ca. 3 mm vs 1.5 mm in A. minimiflora ), a longer inflorescence axis (ca. 5 mm vs 0–1.7 mm in A. minimiflora ), and wider leaves (variable 5.5–12 mm vs remarkably stable 1.4–2 mm in A. minimiflora ). Finally, the whole A. tisserantii plant is glabrous while A. minimiflora is densely pubescent, at least on young shoots.

Alyxia nummularia Moore ( 1921: 358) . Holotype:— NEW CALEDONIA, Mt Dore , elev. 1500 ft, 1 May 1914, Compton 841: BM [BM000508535!] ( Figs 9 View FIGURE 9 , 10 View FIGURE 10 )

Species circumscription: — Alyxia nummularia was considered as a distinct species by Boiteau (1981) and then merged into A. tisserantii by Middleton (2002). We follow Boiteau (1981) and consider it as a distinct species, mostly characterized by orbicular leaves, and densely pubescent young stems and leaves. It differs from our conception of A. tisserantii mostly by the young stems and densely pubescent leaves, slightly longer corolla tubes (ca. 2.1–3.1 mm vs 1.1–2.2 mm), and grayish bark. It is most similar to higher-altitude forms of A. kaalaensis by the orbicular leaves, but differs from it by the always axillary inflorescences and shorter corolla tube (ca. 2.1–3.1 mm vs 3–4.5 mm in A. kaalaensis ). Flower dissections also showed that A. nummularia ’s ovary only presents a ring with sparse hairs (ca. 0.1 mm) at the base, while A. kaalaensis has a densely pubescent ovary, with longer hairs (0.15–0.2 mm).

Distribution and habitat:— Alyxia nummularia occurs in the southern half of Grande Terre, between 50 and 1100 m elev. It grows mainly on rocky areas, in shrubland vegetations on ultramafic substrates. Vieillard’s specimens are not presented on the map ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ), because they are considered doubtful, with mixes of different plants under the same collection number, plus old and unreliable locality names.

Phenology:— From herbarium specimens and pictures available, A. nummularia can present flowers and fruits all year round.

Alyxia oppositifolia Boiteau ( 1979: 452) . Holotype:— NEW CALEDONIA, Vallée de la Koumac, elev. 30 m, 19 April 1967, MacKee 16599: P [P00072115!]; isolectotype: P [P00625018!], L [L 0544770!], K [ K000894177 !], NOU [ NOU005731 !] ( Figs 11 View FIGURE 11 , 12 View FIGURE 12 )

Species circumscription: — A. oppositifolia was described by Boiteau (1979) and then maintained by Boiteau (1981) and Middleton (2002). This species’ concept however varied between the two authors, resulting in varying distribution and ecology. We accept a broad concept of A. oppositifolia , characterized by usually opposite leaves, sometimes ternate, flowers usually solitary, sometimes in simple inflorescences of three flowers, with a corolla tube 4.3–7.8 mm long, borne by a peduncle of at least 6 mm, and a fruit article longer than 7–7.5 mm. Lamina shape varies from flat and lanceolate chartaceous leaves, to linear revolutate and coriaceous ones. Pubescence is also variable with glabrous plants and plants pubescent on young stems, leaves, and peduncles. This variation appears to be correlated with substrates, with glabrous plants on calcareous substrates and pubescent ones on serpentine outcrops. These differences could cover two species, but further studies are needed to reach a conclusion on this point.

Distribution and habitat:— A. oppositifolia occurs only in the northwestern part of Grande Terre, at low altitude (0–300 m) shrublands and sclerophyllous forests, on various substrates.

Phenology:— From herbarium specimens and pictures available, flowers can be seen from September to May. Fruits were collected almost all year round.

Alyxia paniensis Lannuzel , nom. nov., stat. nov., (urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77336450-1). Alyxia loeseneriana var. macrocarpa Boiteau (1979: 450) . Holotype:— NEW CALEDONIA, Slopes of Mt Panié, elev. 1000–1200 m, 1 September 1958, MacKee 6414: P [P00143130!] ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 )

Species circumscription:— This species was originally described as A. loeseneriana var. macrocarpa , based only on specimens with fruits. However, McPherson 17791 (NOU058367), with flowers, justifies raising this taxon to specific rank, with a new name due to the earlier name Alyxia macrocarpa Koord. Alyxia paniensis differs from A. loeseneriana by the ca. 8.5 mm long corolla tube vs 3–5 mm in A. loeseneriana , overall flowers ca. 13.5 mm long, and fruit articles 3.5–4 cm long, vs 1.5 cm long in A. loeseneriana .

Distribution and habitat:—This poorly known species occurs in the Mont Panié mountain range, in the Northeastern part of Grande Terre. It is known only from medium to high altitude (400–1200 m elev.) dense humid forests.

Phenology:— The only flowering specimen was collected in October. Fruiting specimens were collected in July, August, September, November and February.

Alyxia pseudoserpentina Boiteau ( 1979: 448) . Holotype:— NEW CALEDONIA, Bosquets des environs de Nouméa, September 1868, Balansa 221: P [P00072157!]; isotype: A [A00054878!]; P [P00072158!]; Z [Z-000030175!] ( Figs. 13 View FIGURE 13 , 15 View FIGURE 15 )

= Alyxia microcarpa Pancher ex Boiteau (1979: 449) View in CoL . Lectotype (designated here):— NEW CALEDONIA, dans les massifs, sur les coteaux argilo-schisteux, Pancher 308, P [P00072141!—left hand parts], syn. nov.

Species circumscription: — Alyxia pseudoserpentina View in CoL was considered as a distinct species by Boiteau (1979, 1981), and then included in A. tisserantii View in CoL by Middleton (2002). According to Boiteau’s (1981) key, the species was characterized, within the Globuliferae series, by subsessile axillary inflorescences, and small membraneous leaves. We confirm Boiteau’s conclusion, and circumscribed the species based on the short inflorescence peduncle (0.5–4 mm), and a corolla tube 2.6–3.6 mm long. It is similar to some forms of A. tisserantii View in CoL as circumscribed here, but differs from it by the shorter inflorescence primary axis (0.5–4 mm vs 4.2–12 mm), and longer corolla tube (2.6–3.6 mm vs 1.1–2.2 mm). Sterile material is also distinguishable by the very prominent nodes on stems and chartaceous leaves, instead of coriaceous ones in A. tisserantii View in CoL . Finally, this species is restricted to coastal dry forests on non-ultramafic substrates, while A. tisserantii View in CoL grows in ultramafic shrublands.

Distribution and habitat:— A. pseudoserpentina is found at low altitude (elev. 0–250 m) on the west coast of Grande Terre. It grows in sclerophyllous vegetations on non-ultramafic substrates.

Phenology:— From herbarium specimens, flowering and fruiting seems to be distributed all year round, but irregularly. Flowers were collected in February, March, April, July, August and December. Fruits were collected from September to April, and in July.

Notes:— Boiteau (1979) described the new species as Alyxia microcarpa based on Pancher’s manuscript note on a specimen’s label at P herbarium. At that time, Boiteau (1979) wrote “ Pancher 308, coteaux argilo-siliceux, environs de Nouméa, (holo-, P)”. Later, Boiteau (1981) added an isotype in Z as “TYPE: Pancher 308 (holo-, P!; iso-, Z)” being unclear if he had seen the Zurich specimen (without “!”). Middleton (2002) added several other isotypes respectively in A, K, MEL and P. Of the four sheets of Pancher 308 at P, two (P00156842! and P04225578!) do not bear the original Alyxia microcarpa name and can be discarded from original type material. On the two other sheets bearing Pancher’s manuscript name Alyxia microcarpa , P00156841! has several numbers (Musée Néocal. 117, Pancher 308 and V.[ieillard] 2969) and localities (Tanlé and Côteaux boisés) with a morphology not matching the protologue (e.g. lamina lineari) such that this sheet could be excluded from the type material. The last sheet P00072141! is the one most closely matching Boiteau’s protologue though it is not a perfect match because of several incongruences (e.g. côteaux argilo-siliceux versus côteaux argilo-schisteux, Environs de Nouméa versus Calédonie, Frutex scandens vel sarmentosus versus Petit arbre de 3 mètres ou arbre de 4 mètres, Corolla glabris versus Tube intérieurement velu sous le point d’insertion des étamines, fruit on the sheet versus no fruit description). Because Boiteau (1979) asserted that the species had been studied with living specimens in “Parc de Montravel (Nouméa)” and because he has speculated that this locality was most probably the one where Pancher collected the specimen, we can conclude that Boiteau’s protologue is based on both this Pancher sheet and in situ observations in Parc de Montravel. It could also be inferred that Boiteau overinterpreted Pancher’s label in correcting “côteaux argilo-schisteux” to “côteaux argilo-siliceux” and “Calédonie” to “Environs de Nouméa”. In addition P00072141 has three branches and two labels on it so it could be easily concluded that they represent at least two different gatherings based on label information, state of drying and morphology. Based on the morphology described in the protologue and based on Fig. 23.10 in Boiteau (1981: 119) who referred this drawing to Pancher 308, we can confidently select the two branches on the left of the sheet as the lectotype along with the upper label. The single fallen linear leaf in the pocket might also be considered as part of the lectotype. The fruit is not described in the protologue though the epithet name proposed by Pancher refers to a small fruit. The fruit articles in the pocket are related to the bottom label (“fruits noirs”) and most probably to the right branch. This label, fruits in the pocket and right branch thus represents a second gathering (a common practice at that time by Pancher, Deplanche and Vieillard- see Morat 2010, Lannuzel et al. 2022c) and so do not belong to the lectotype.

Pancher 308 specimens from A (A00054880), MEL (MEL727291), and Z (Z-000000963) seem to belong to one gathering, regarding the leaf shape and drying, but are different from P00072141, with shorter leaves. They are however very similar to P00156841 and probably represent the same collection. The specimen cited by Middleton (2002) at K could not be retrieved during this study. The specimen P00072141, narrower as defined here, is thus considered as the lectotype without any isolectotypes.

Alyxia rosmarinifolia (Baill.) Guillaumin (1941: 366) . Gynopogon rosmarinifolius (“rosmarinifolium”) Baillon (1889: 782). Lectotype (designated by Middleton (2002: 66):— NEW CALEDONIA, Baie de Canala, sur les collines éruptives, 29 June 1869, Balansa 2428: P [P00156839!]; isolectotype: P [P00156840!], K [K00894172!] ( Figs. 14 View FIGURE 14 , 15 View FIGURE 15 )

Species circumscription: — Alyxia rosmarinifolia was considered a synonym of Alyxia tisserantii by both Boiteau (1981) and Middleton (2002). We propose to recognise this name as a valid species. Alyxia rosmarinifolia is close to A. dolioliflora on the basis of sterile material because of its leaf shape. However, A. rosmarinifolia has flowers with a corolla tube 0.9–2 mm long, vs 2.5–4.1 mm long for A. dolioliflora . Its fruit articles are also of spherical shape, while A. dolioliflora has ovoid fruit articles. Finally, A. rosmarinifolia is found between 800 and 1000 m elev. in its only present day known location (Mont Do, south of Grande Terre), while A. dolioliflora grows in low altitude maquis in the Northwestern ultramafic maquis of Grande Terre. The species is also very similar to Alyxia minimiflora described here, but differs from it by being entirely glabrous, and having flower borne on inflorescences with a primary axis ca. 3.7 mm (vs 1 mm in A. minimiflora ), and longer pedicels (up to 2 mm). Since Balansa’s original collection (only fruiting material), no further specimen of this species has been collected in the type locality (Baie de Canala, sur les collines éruptives). We have some doubts because of locality disjunction between Baie de Canala and Mont Do about identifying the specimens from the latter locality under A. rosmarinifolia . But, at this stage, this seems the best option instead of resurrecting a possibly extinct species and describing a new narrow range one from Mont Do.

Distribution and habitat:— The only known population of A. rosmarinifolia occurs on top of Mont Do, in the southern part of Grande Terre. It grows in open herbaceous maquis, on peridotite rocks, between 800 and 1000 m elev.

Phenology:— From herbarium specimens and available pictures, the species is flowering in October and November. Fruits were observed in November, March, April, and June.

Notes:— The isolectotype held in K (K00894172) has “Nouméa” written on the label, as the locality. It carries the same Balansa collection number, however, and regarding shape and drying, is the same plant as the ones at P. Although the original label is Balansa’s one, hand-written entries (name, locality and number) are not from Balansa. In fact, the handwritten number is the same as the P isolectotype and not the same as the P lectotype, the latter being written by Balansa himself. In addition to the name, the locality and number were most likely written by Guillaumin when he published the invalid combination for the first time ( Guillaumin 1911: 194) and before the specimen was sent to K.

Alyxia spathulata Guillaumin ( 1957: 80) . Lectotype (designated by Boiteau (1981:121):— NEW CALEDONIA, Ile des Pins , Germain s.n.: P [P00072149!]; isolectotype P [P00625016!] ( Figs. 16 View FIGURE 16 , 18 View FIGURE 18 )

Species circumscription: — Alyxia spathulata was considered as a distinct species by Boiteau (1981) and then as a synonym of A. tisserantii by Middleton (2002). While narrowing the concept of A. tisserantii , we choose to follow Boiteau and consider A. spathulata as a species readily distinguishable by its smaller oblong to spathulate leaves (1.3–2.1 cm), short corolla tube (0.7–1.6 mm), and blackish bark. Further, all specimens come from the Pic N’Ga hill, on the Isle of Pines, where no A. tisserantii specimen is found, and where all specimens are very stable in leaf and fruit shapes.

Distribution and habitat:— A. spathulata is only known from Pic N’Ga, on the Isle of Pines. It grows at low altitude (50–150 m elev.) in shrublands on ultramafic substrates.

Phenology:— From herbarium specimens and pictures, flowers of A. spathulata can be seen in January and June. Fruits are known from May to November.

Species circumscription:— Alyxia tisserantii View in CoL is most similar to Alyxia dolioliflora View in CoL by its reddish bark and sometimes almost linear leaves, but differs by fruits composed of several (2 to 4–6) spherical articles, 3.7–5 × 3.7–4.4 mm vs

fruits composed of 1–2 ovoid articles 8–9.5 × 4.7–6.5 mm. It is also close to A. pseudoserpentina by the general morphology and habit, as well as leaf shape. However, it differs by longer peduncles (4.2–12 mm vs 0.5–4.1 mm

in A. pseudoserpentina ) and a shorter corolla tube of 1.1–2.2 mm, almost equal to the corolla lobes, while A.

pseudoserpentina has the corolla tube almost twicethe length of the lobes. A. pseudoserpentina is also different by its grayish bark and prominent nodes.

Distribution and habitat:— The species is widely distributed on ultramafic substrates on Grande Terre, from Belep islands to the South of Grande Terre. It grows mainly in shrublands from low to high altitude (10–1000 m elev.).

Phenology:— From herbarium specimens and picture available, the species flowers and fructifies all year round.

Notes:—Typification of Alyxia affinis . The specimen P04220365 is not considered as belonging to the type material because it is said to be collected in Nouméa. P04220363 labeled as Vieillard 958 is most probably a Pancher specimen numbered by Pancher according to “Vieillard’s species n° 958”. The specimen BM000508400 is a flowering one (the other original type materials are fruiting ones), most probably collected by Pancher and without locality, so it can be discarded from type material. The K (K000894168) specimen should also be rejected from the type material because it was treated at Caen herbarium (CN) by Lenormand, who is known to have mixed specimens and labels. This specimen actually belongs to A. celastrinea .

Typification of Alyxia breviflora . There are several specimens labeled as Vieillard 952 in numerous herbaria. At P, three (P04220382, P04220384, P04220385) were collected in Balade during the period 1855–1860 (as against “Gatope 1861–1867” for the AWH specimen) so they are not types. P04260777 was originally labeled Vieillard 952 from Gatope and a second label most probably added by Lenormand in Caen says it is from Balade so this specimen could be considered as an isolectotype. P00156868’s label (probably not Vieillard’s handwriting) does not say it is a Vieillard specimen collected in 1861–1867 but is congruent (phenology, shape of the leaves, state of drying) with the lectotype and is most probably an isolectotype. P00156867, K000894169 and the BM specimen also match the protologue and can be considered as isolectotypes.

Typification of A. disphaerocarpa . In the initial protologue van Heurck and Müller Argoviensis (1870) described A. disphaerocarpa from Vieillard 951 in New Caledonia but they (van Heurck and Müller Argoviensis 1871) later refined the locality as “Pum et Tanlé” in their own herbarium. Middleton (2002: 70) recognized AWH12555253 was a mixed specimen with several plants on it and chose the holotype as probably being only the lower left-hand branch. We agree with Middleton but because it is a mixed specimen it should be lectotypified. The lower left-hand branch is preferred because it is the only one with fruits so it most closely matches epithet’s name. Here, it is important to note that this branch bears a Deplanche 1861–67 label numbered “ 951 Vieill. (205 Depl.?)” from “Pum, Tanlé” while the other label is a Vieillard one from Gatope numbered 2968. And to the best of our knowledge, only Deplanche has visited Tanlé islet. In our opinion, the lectotype is therefore a Deplanche specimen he numbered according to “Vieillard n°951 species”. Middleton (2002) also found numerous isotypes in many herbaria (A, BR, G, K, L, NY, P, W, Z). Among the ones to which we had access, L0004669, the top sterile branch of L0064516, the two branches on the left hand of P00156874, the right hand branch of A00054882, the two fruiting branches on the left hand of G00169234, G00169235 (collected in 1868), the left hand branch of W 1889-003666 and Z-000000949 could reasonably be considered as isolectotypes. BR0000006956394, G00169233, K000864171, NY 00345468, NY 00345469, P00156869, P00156870, P00156871, P00156872, P00156873 are not considered as isolectotypes because either they are Vieillard or Mus. Néocal. specimens, sterile, bear flowers, have narrower leaves or a different state of drying. P00156875 [MuséeNéo. Cal. 116 (Vieillard 951 and Deplanche205?)] is probably not a Deplanche specimen and not dated 1861–1867.
