SPECIMEN EXAMINED. — New Caledonia. South Province, Mt. Mou, VII.1909, Le Rat s.n. as “ Chiloscyphus cymbaliferus ” (REN); Mt. Dzumac, “ ad arbores in silvat., 1000 m alt”, VII.1905, Le Rat s.n. as “ Chiloscyphus cymbaliferus ” (REN) .

COMMENTS

The only report of this species in New Caledonia is from E. G. Paris (1906, 1910) as Chiloscyphus cymbaliferus . The two specimens in his herbarium kept at Rennes University (REN) are not different from Tetracymbaliella comptonii . Therefore, T. cymbalifera must be removed from the New Caledonian flora.
