(P!; iso-, MO!, NOU!, P (3 sheets)!).</p><p>Trees 2-4 m tall. Leaves 25-40(-50) cm long; leaflets 9-15, membranous, ovate to ovateelliptic, often narrowly so, 5-12.5 × 2-5 cm, the lowermost somewhat reduced and often broadly ovate, apex narrowly obtuse to acuminate, minutely mucronate, margin entire, to serrate on the first few leaves of new shoots (finely and more deeply serrate in juvenile foliage), base obtuse to truncate; petiolules 7-15 mm long, flattened laterally, with the scarious margins upturned and forming a groove on the top; petiole terete, with an evident thickening <i>c</i>. 1 cm from the base, usually glaucescent. Inflorescence light yellow-green throughout, primary axis (55-) 65-150 cm long, pendant, glaucescent at the base, secondary axes 10-15, alternate, regularly scattered and borne at 45-90° angle to the primary axis, the lower ones up to 40 cm long, reduced progressively toward the apex, tertiary axes 8-12 per secondary axis (fewer on the upper ones), alternate, 3-9 cm long (the uppermost somewhat smaller), each with a terminal umbellules of 4-10(-12) hermaphrodite flowers and (0-)1-4 small lateral umbellules of 1-8 staminate flowers, involucre minute, of 4-6 triangular, acuminate bractlets each 0.5-1 mm long (smaller in staminate umbellules), pedicels 3-7 mm long (those of the staminate flowers 1.5-4 mm long). Petals yellow-green, <i>c</i>. 0.7 mm long (smaller in staminate flowers). Filaments yellow-green, 0.8 mm long, anthers 0.6 mm long (0.4-0.5 mm in staminate flowers). Ovary 0.8-1 mm long at anthesis, styles 0.6- 0.8 mm long at anthesis (0.4 mm long and vestigial in staminate flowers), expanding very little in fruit, but becoming somewhat thicker. Fruit ellipsoid-ovoid, olive-green turning deep purple when mature, 10-13 mm long, smooth, shiny, nearly always crushed in pressed specimens. 2n = 24 (LOWRY 1986b; YI <i>et al.</i> 2004). — Fig. 1.</p><p>HABITAT. — <i>Delarbrea balansae</i> appears to be restricted to ultramafic substrates in southern New Caledonia, and occurs primarily in humid forests, although one collection has been made in maquis vegetation (see LOWRY 1986b). The species has only been recorded at five sites, four at low elevation (0-50 m) along or near the east coast (one on the Baie de Ouinné and three in the region of Thio) and one at about 450 m on Mt. Mou, NW of Nouméa.</p><p>CONSERVATION STATUS. — Using the IUCN (2001) threat criteria, <i>Delarbrea balansae</i> is assigned a preliminary status of Endangered (EN B1ab2abD) based on the fact that it has an Extent of Occurrence of <i>c</i>. 1000 km 2, an Area of Occupancy <100 km 2 (known from just five locations), and an estimated total population of less than 250 mature individuals.</p><p>MATERIAL EXAMINED. — NEW CALEDONIA: Prov.
