042A87870029FFF4FC84E948F7A6F871.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. — The new species resembles several other New Caledonian Cryptocarya species (C. leptospermoides, C. gracilis, C. chartacea Kosterm., C. mackeei Kosterm., C. schmidii Kosterm.) in having relatively small leaves (up to 7 × 4 cm) with pinnate venation, but can be most easily distinguished from them by its persistent and strongly appressed indument on the inflorescences (vs inflorescences glabrous or rapidly glabrate in C. mackeei and C. schmidii), its short (up to 3.6 cm) inflorescences and unraised lenticels (vs inflorescences 5 - 10 cm and lenticels prominent in C. chartacea), and by its relatively long flowers (2.5 - 3.5 mm) (vs 2.0 - 2.5 mm in C. leptospermoides and C. gracilis).	en	Munzinger, Jérôme, McPHERSON, Gordon (2016): Novitates neocaledonicae IV: Three new species of Cryptocarya R.

042A8787002EFFFEFF22EE4DF74DFDCB.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. — Among the New Caledonian species of Cryptocarya with dense indument persisting on the abaxial leaf surface, C. chrysea, sp. nov., most resembles C. guillauminii, from which it is distinguished by its protruding lenticels abundant on the older stems, by the golden colour of the abaxial surface of its young leaves, and by its larger fruit (to 3.3 cm diameter) (vs smooth stems, glaucous abaxial surface, and fruit diameter to 2.5 cm in C. guillauminii).	en	Munzinger, Jérôme, McPHERSON, Gordon (2016): Novitates neocaledonicae IV: Three new species of Cryptocarya R.

042A8787002EFFFEFF22EE4DF74DFDCB.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION Tree 8 - 10 m; 15 cm in diameter. Bark brown, somewhat rough. Twigs somewhat flattened to subterete, densely puberulous with minute, appressed, essentially straight hairs, smooth at first but older portions typically with long, shallow, narrow ridges and eventually (below the leaf-bearing nodes) with numerous prominent lenticels, these typically 1 - 2 mm high, 1 - 2 mm long; terminal buds densely golden appressed-pubescent. Leaves alternate; blades ovate, 5.0 - 11 × 2.5 - 5.6 cm; base obtuse to broadly acute in outline but typically briefly decurrent into the petiole; apex acute, typically acuminate; margin thickened to narrowly revolute; texture coriaceous; adaxial surface glossy, glabrous except near the base, abaxial surface typically golden in colour, densely pubescent with minute, subappressed, essentially straight hairs, the hairs persistent on mature leaves; lateral veins (2 -) 3 - 4 (- 5) on each side, the lowest two pairs typically arising within 1 cm of the leaf base, slightly sunken on the adaxial surface, prominently raised abaxially, lower venation obscure on both surfaces; petioles 8 - 13 × c. 2.5 mm, flat adaxially. Inflorescences axillary and pseudoterminal, 1.5 - 4 cm long, paniculate, densely pubescent; bracts and bracteoles c. 0.5 mm long, caducous, pubescent; pedicels (uppermost bracteoles to hypanthium base) c. 0.5 mm. Flowers yellow-green to green, 3 mm long, 2.5 - 3 mm in diameter distally, externally pubescent, the tube c. 1 mm long, the tepals c. 2 mm long, erect at anthesis, equal, ovate, pubescent adaxially as well; stamens 9, all 2 - celled, pubescent, c. 1 mm long, the filaments very short, the anther cells large, the connectives prolonged beyond the anther cells; stamens slightly shorter than the tepals and hidden behind them; paired glands at the base of the inner three stamens globose, c. 0.3 mm in diameter; staminodia small, narrowly ovate; pistil glabrous, c. 2 mm long, the style not exerted; receptacle cylindric, pubescent near the rim, otherwise glabrous. Fruits slightly obovoid, 2.5 - 3 cm long, 2.3 - 3.3 cm in diameter (dried), black at maturity, the embryo reddish pink in cross-section.	en	Munzinger, Jérôme, McPHERSON, Gordon (2016): Novitates neocaledonicae IV: Three new species of Cryptocarya R.
