Cyphophoenix elegans is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae . [3] [4] It is a palm tree found only in New Caledonia.
Knightia is a small genus of the family Proteaceae endemic to New Zealand, named in honor of Thomas Andrew Knight. One extant species, K. excelsa (rewarewa) is found in New Zealand. Two further Knightia species are found in New Caledonia, although they were placed in the genus Eucarpha by Lawrie Johnson and Barbara Briggs in their influential 1975 monograph "On the Proteaceae: the evolution and classification of a southern family", a placement supported in a 2006 classification of the Proteaceae. A fossil species from upper Miocene deposits in Kaikorai has been described as Knightia oblonga. Knightia has been placed in the tribe Roupaleae of the subfamily Grevilleoideae.
Stenocarpus is a genus of about 22 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. They are trees or shrubs with variably-shaped leaves, zygomorphic, bisexual flowers, the floral tube opening on the lower side before separating into four parts, followed by fruit that is usually a narrow oblong or cylindrical follicle.
Araucaria luxurians is a species of conifer in the family Araucariaceae. It is known by the common names Sapin de Noël and Coast araucaria. It is endemic to New Caledonia, where it grows in several small subpopulations. It grows in ultramafic soils in humid forests and on cliffs and slopes. It is threatened by habitat loss and none of the subpopulations are in protected areas.
Araucaria muelleri is a species of conifer in the family Araucariaceae. It is a medium size tree, 10–25 meters in height, with larger leaves than most other New Caledonian Araucarias. It is found only in New Caledonia, in several sites in the far south of Grande Terre, the main island.
Podocarpus novae-caledoniae is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is found only in Grande Terre and the Île des Pins, New Caledonia.
Basselinia vestita is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is found only in New Caledonia.
Cyphophoenix is a genus of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It contains 4 known species, all endemic to New Caledonia. The relationships between Cyphophoenix and some other genera of the tribe Basseliniinae including Physokentia and the New Caledonia endemic Burretiokentia are not clear.
Cyphophoenix nucele is a species of flowering plant in the family Arecaceae. It is found only in New Caledonia.
Cyphosperma is a genus of flowering plants in the family Arecaceae, native to various islands of the Pacific. It contains the following species:
Beauprea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. Its 13 extant species are endemic to New Caledonia, though closely related forms have been found in the fossil records of Australia and New Zealand. Its closest extant relatives are the African Protea and Faurea.
Pancheria is a genus of shrubs and trees in the family Cunoniaceae. It is to endemic to New Caledonia and contains 27 species. Leaves or whorled, simple or pinnate. The flowers are arranged in capitula, fruits are follicular. The species are dioecious. The genus is well diversified on ultramafic rocks and some species are nickel hyperaccumulators. It is related to Cunonia and Pterophylla. It was named after Jean Armand Isidore Pancher.
Planchonella pinifolia is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia.
Cunonia is a genus of shrubs and trees in the family Cunoniaceae. The genus has a disjunct distribution, with 24 species endemic to New Caledonia in the Pacific, and one species in Southern Africa. Leaves are opposite, simple or pinnate with a margin entire to serrate. Interpetiolar stipules are often conspicuous and generally enclose buds to form a spoon-like shape. Flowers are bisexual, white, red, or green, arranged in racemes. The fruit is a capsule opening first around the base then vertically, seeds are winged.
Eucarpha is a genus of flowering plant of the family Proteaceae, endemic to New Caledonia. Two species are recognised. Up to 1975, these were classified within the genus Knightia until Lawrence Johnson and Barbara G. Briggs recognised their distinctness, particularly their prominent bracts, in their 1975 monograph "On the Proteaceae: the evolution and classification of a southern family". Nomenclatural combinations for these two species in the genus Eucarpha were published in 2022.
Dubouzetia is a genus of about eleven species known to science, growing from shrubs up to large trees, in Papuasia and Australasia and constituting part of the plant family Elaeocarpaceae.
Dracophyllum ramosum is a species of shrub or small tree in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to New Caledonia. It was first described by Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart and Jean Antoine Arthur Gris in 1864 and gets the specific epithet ramosum for the fact that many of its branches grow from the same place. It inhabits the summits and slopes of mountains, alongside streams, and on plateaux; it reaches a height of 0.5–5 m.
Cyathopsis albicans is a species of plant in the family Ericaceae, endemic to New Caledonia. It was first described as Leucopogon albicans in 1864 by Adolphe-Théodore Brongniart and Jean Antoine Arthur Gris, and transferred to Cyathopsis in 2005 by Christopher John Quinn.
Eucarpha deplanchei is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae, native to New Caledonia. It was first described in 1865 as Knightia deplanchei.
