8650F16CFF88FFC85670A187DAB0FCD9.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. — This species and the monospecific section it belongs to is named in honour of Luciano Bernardi (1920 - 2001), former curator at the “ Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Genève ”. Bernardi, an “ infatigable explorateur ”, is known for his numerous field trips around the world, especially in Africa, Asia, Madagascar, South America and the South Pacific (see Spichiger et al. 2002). Over tens of thousands of specimens, among which the type of the species described here, were gathered in the course of his expeditions.	en	Callmander, Martin W.

8650F16CFF88FFC85670A187DAB0FCD9.taxon	discussion	REMARKS With its deflected stigmas and staminate flower characterized by a ‘ stemanophore’, a fascicle of stamens, expanded into a peltate, umbrella like surface (Fig. 2 I), Pandanus bernardii H. St. John ex Callm., sp. nov. can be without any doubt placed in Pandanus subg. Lophostigma (Brongn.) H. St. John to whom all New Caledonian species belong except the widespread Pandanus tectorius (type of Pandanus subg. Pandanus). A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis including the new species described here confirms the monophyly of all New Caledonian species except the widespread P. tectorius (Buerki et al. 2012). Nevertheless, the new species has a unique combination of morphological characters and cannot be confused to any other known Pandanus species and therefore is placed on its own monospecific section following Stone’s infrageneric classification (1974). The new species can be recognized by its unlobed obovoid drupes, with numerous and parallel longitudinal deep ridges that runs from the base to the apex of each drupe (Fig. 2 B-E). The drupe apex is truncate and holds a concavity, where all the stigmas are gathered. The stigmas are generally deltoid but sometimes deeply bifid, topped by a 1 - 3 mm long appressed style, proximal or sometimes facing each other and somewhat overlapping (Fig. 2 B).	en	Callmander, Martin W.
