Stigma (1 -) 3 - 4 (- 5), ca. 1 - 2 mm wide, slightly heightened (ca. 2 mm) on an appressed style, forming one row, deflected toward the cephalium apex. Endocarp median, ca. 10 mm long, concave at apex, lateral walls 2 - 4 mm thick; proximal mesocarp 8 - 10 mm long, fibrous-fleshy, distal mesocarp 6 - 10 mm long, sparsely fibrous, chambered, seed locule ca. 4 × 7 mm, ellipsoid.

03E887D7FFB4CF18FCCEFE98FE169EFE.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology. – Pandanus decumbens is mostly found at lower to mid elevations (0 - 400 m). It grows on both serpentine and calcareous substrates, usually in rocky sites. The species is widespread along the west coast from Iles des Pins to Koumac usually in Maquis or dry forests and often along creeks (Fig. 1).	en	Callmander, Martin W., Buerki, Sven (2013): Notes on New Caledonian Pandanaceae: identity and typifications of Pandanus decumbens (Brongn.)

03E887D7FFB4CF18FCCEFE98FE169EFE.taxon	conservation	Conservation status. – With an EOO of 15 642 km 2, an AOO of 324 km 2, and 18 subpopulations, three of which are situated within the protected area network (Barrage Yaté, Mt. Panié, Vallée de la Thy), P. decumbens is assigned a preliminary status of Least Concern (LC) based on the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN, 2001).	en	Callmander, Martin W., Buerki, Sven (2013): Notes on New Caledonian Pandanaceae: identity and typifications of Pandanus decumbens (Brongn.)

03E887D7FFB4CF18FCCEFE98FE169EFE.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Pandanus decumbens was described by BRONGNIART (1875) under the basionym Barrotia decumbens Brongn., it was based on two syntypes: Balansa s. n. and Pancher 342. Balansa s. n. has not been located either at FI or at P. Pancher 342 is a complete collection comprising leaves, young and mature syncarps and drupes at P and separate drupes at FI. ST. JOHN (1989: 24) therefore designated this collection as the lectotype. The sheet of Pancher 342 at P [P 020 77365] bears a label with “ n ° 8 ” annotation (see “ sonneratphoto. mnhn. fr / 2010 / 12 / 03 / 2 / P 02077365. jpg ” for scanned specimen), as well as an original Pancher label with “ 342 ” clearly indicated. St. John wrongly cited the collection as Pancher 8 when he lectotypified the species. Note that St John actually cited the sheet as the holotype, but this is to be considered as an effective lectotypification since it was published before 2001 (see MCNEILL & al., 2012 [art. 9.23]). MARTELLI (1914) misinterpreted Pandanus decumbens and considered this species to be a synonym of P. reticulatus along with P. schlechteri Warb. He consequently described a new species, P. neocaledonicus Martelli, to accommodate a specimen (s. coll.) deposited at the Caen Museum. This material is believed to have been destroyed during World War II, but fragments of the collection have been found at FI and P. The FI sheet is designated as lectotype because it is in better condition and less fragmentary than the sheet at P. This collection clearly belongs to P. decumbens with its stigma slightly raised (ca. 2 mm) on an appressed style, arranged in one row and deflected toward the cephalium apex (Fig. 2, 3 A). Pandanus neocaledonicus is therefore considered as a synonym of P. decumbens along with P. schlechteri, the latter already being treated in this way by ST. JOHN (1989).	en	Callmander, Martin W., Buerki, Sven (2013): Notes on New Caledonian Pandanaceae: identity and typifications of Pandanus decumbens (Brongn.)

03E887D7FFB0CF1BFF94FC89FD949FE7.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Pandanus reticulatus was described by VIEILLARD (1864) very succinctly. This species was considered by MARTELLI (1914) and STONE (1972) to be synonym of P. decumbens, whereas ST. JOHN (1989: 25) treated it as a “ species dubia ”. BRONGNIART (1875: 286) noted the close resemblance but underlined the morphological distinction by emphasising Vieillard’s description: “ drupe petite, serrées, subtetragones, couronées par le stigmate persistant, uniloculaire ”, whereas P. decumbens holds larger drupes with several stigmas in one row. No type material has been located, nor was any referred to by MARTELLI (1914), St. JOHN (1989) or Stone (pers. comm.), therefore a neotype is required to be designated. No collections are known to exist that Vieillard might have seen. Nevertheless, the species has been collected many times in the last 65 years before our visit to New Caledonia in 2011, but only one has a mature syncarp (MacKee 42975). During our visit we were able to locate a large population of P. reticulatus in Nodéla, on the slopes of the Mé Moya massif. This collection (Callmander & al. 981), which is accompanied by extensive field information and photographs and comprises multiple duplicates, is chosen as the neotype. The species is now described in detail above for the first time based on this collection. The species is unique among the New Caledonian taxa in having a unicarpellate drupe with a reniform stigma (Fig. 3 B, 4). It can be easily recognized in the field by its slender habit usually with prop roots up to 1 m tall, its narrow leaves (ca. 12 - 15 mm wide) and tiny oblong ovoid syncarp (ca. 2.5 × 5.5 cm) with unicarpellate drupes (Fig. 3 B).	en	Callmander, Martin W., Buerki, Sven (2013): Notes on New Caledonian Pandanaceae: identity and typifications of Pandanus decumbens (Brongn.)

03E887D7FFB3CF15FF87FB84FB149E3F.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Several collections with rather small leaves and syncarps have been determined by H. St. John and B. C. Stone as P. neocaledonicus. Now that the taxonomy of this species and P. decumbens and P. reticulatus has been clarified (see above), it has become obvious that these collections pertain to a different undescribed species. Pandanus letocartiorum is the third species known in New Caledonia with fruit less than 15 cm in length, the two other species being P. decumbens and P. reticulatus. Pandanus letocartiorum can be easily distinguished from P. reticulatus, described above, by its leaves, generally smaller and narrower (mostly 90 - 150 cm long and 2 - 2.5 cm wide vs 75 - 80 cm long, and 1.2 - 1.4 cm wide in P. reticulatus); its larger syncarp (9 - 13 cm long and 6 - 8 cm wide vs ca. 5.5 cm long and ca. 2.5 wide); and the number and orientation of the stigmas (4 - 7 and erect to oblique, vs solitary and plane) (Fig. 5, 6). The new species is morphologically closer to P. decumbens, both species having similar sized leaves and syncarp. Nevertheless, P. letocartiorum can be distinguished by its habit (erect and little-branched small treelet to 6 m tall vs slender-stemmed branched or not shrub with the stem usually decumbent in P. decumbens); numbers of drupe per syncarp (ca. 80 vs ca. 100 - 180 in P. decumbens), longer and wider (ca. 2.0 - 2.8 cm long and 2 - 3.5 cm wide vs 1.5 - 2.5 cm long, 1 - 2 cm wide) and the short parallel light brown scars spreading from the apex on the side of the dark brown pileus (vs absent).	en	Callmander, Martin W., Buerki, Sven (2013): Notes on New Caledonian Pandanaceae: identity and typifications of Pandanus decumbens (Brongn.)
