( Fig. 3F ).

≡ Arytera chartacea Radlk. in Sitzungsber. Math.-Phys. Cl. Königl. Bayer. Akad. Wiss. München 9: 553. 1879.

Lectotypus (first step designated by TURNER, 1995: 167; second step designated here): NOUVELLE-CALÉDONIE. Prov. Sud: Port des Français près de Nouméa , IX.1868, Balansa 147 ( P [ P00639108 ]!; isolecto-: K [ K000701499 K000701500 ]!, M [ M0225350 , M0225351 ] images seen, NY [ NY00038711 ] image seen, P [ P00639109 , P00639110 ]!).

Distribution and ecology. – Neoarytera chartacea is endemic to the west coast of Grande Terre, where it grows in sclerophyll forest or various types of substrate, in particular limestone and serpentine ( TURNER, 1995).

Notes. – Three syntypes were cited in the protologue of Arytera chartacea: Balansa 147, 1442 and Pancher 610. TURNER (1995: 167) designated Balansa 147 as the lectotype. Original material at P is, however, mounted on three sheets, necessitating a second step lectotypification. Here we designate the most complete and best-preserved sheet [P00639108] as the lectotype.
