Polyosma brachystachys Schlechter (1907: 117) .

Lectotype (designated here):— NEW CALEDONIA. Auf dem Bergen bei Ou-Hinna, 900 m, 7 January 1903, Schlechter 15694 (B-100296090!; isolectotypes: A-01154252, BR-699809!, HBG-517032!, G-00388949!, L-0035072!, L-0035073!, M-0242297, P-00537656!, P-00537657!, P-00537658!).

In his description, Schlechter (1907) did not provide a collection number but only a locality “in den Wäldern der Berge bei Ou Hinna” and the date of January 1903. His collection number 15694 matches the location and date. There is apparently a single sheet at B that bears the handwritten note “ Polyosma brachystachys Schltr. n. sp. ”(presumably Schlechter’s hand), which is chosen here as a lectotype.
