4. Smilax tetraptera Schlechter (1906: 32) View in CoL . Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 .

Lectotype (designated here): NEW CALEDONIA. Ngoye , 3 Nov 1902, R. Schlechter, 15207, K000820870 (K, digital image!). Isolectotypes: B100365950 (B, digital image!), P00537836 (P, digital image!)

Distribution: NEW CALEDONIA.

Notes: Smilax tetraptera was described by Schlechter (1906) based on his collection made from the mountains of Ngoye , New Caledonia in November 1902 having the collection number 15207 as specified in the protologue. While searching for the original material, three sheets were found associated with S. tetraptera , one each at B (B100365950), K (K000820870), and P (P00537836). All these specimens have Schlechter’s annotation as “ Smilax tetraptera Schltr. n. sp., Plantae Schlechterianae no. 15207, Auf den Bergen am Ngoye, 600m, 3/11/1902 ”. Following articles 7.11, 9.3, and 9.12 of the ICN, we have selected K000820870 as a lectotype because it bears floral buds and matches perfectly with the protologue description.
