Huberantha View in CoL in the Pacific

Huberantha was only recently recognised as an independent genus; excised from the amorphous Old World Polyalthia s. lat. After a false start with the name Hubera ( Chaowasku et al. 2012) , some 27 species ranging from East Africa and Madagascar to the South Pacific were transferred to Huberantha ( Chaowasku et al. 2015) , to be followed by one more from India ( Muralidharan et al. 2015) and 4 from Vietnam, the Philippines and New Guinea ( Turner 2016). However, the taxonomy of genus is poorly known, particularly in New Guinea and the Pacific. Herbarium material from the Pacific islands included at least 2 new species of Huberantha , which are described below.

We consider these species to belong in Huberantha because they have uniovulate carpels, brochidodromous venation with non-decurrent insertion of lateral nerves to the midrib and more or less cuneate, rather than subcordate leaf bases, and relatively hard seeds.
