  abstract = {{T}he flora of dense humid forests on ultramafic rocks is compared with that over acidic and over calcareous rocks. {T}he flora of forests on ultramafic rocks (1361 species belonging to 400 genera in 118 families) is as rich in species but a little less diversified in genera and families, than the flora over acidic rocks (1370 species distributed among 430 genera and 128 families). {I}t is in contrast significantly more diversified than forest floras over calcareous rocks that cover a smaller area. {S}pecies associated with a specific forest type are more numerous on ultramafites than on acidic rocks and the genera are equal in number in both cases. {G}ymnosperms with 31 species of which 19 are strictly associated with ultramafic rocks, have their greatest importance with this type of substrate. {T}he reverse is true for the {P}teridophytes. {T}he total number of {A}ngiosperms is approximately the same for both ultramafic and acidic rocks, but is very variable according to families. {T}hus, 33 {A}ngiosperms have a greater importance in the former rock type, 36 in the latter, and 33 are equally important in both. {W}ith exception of the {G}ymnosperms that are more numerous over ultramafic rocks, taxa representative of the antiquity of the {N}ew {C}aledonian flora have a similar importance in the two main types of forest. {N}evertheless, the families #{P}hellinaceae$, #{B}alanopaceae$, #{S}phenostemonaceae$, #{O}ncothecaceae$, and #{S}trasburgeriaceae$ are better represented in forest over ultramafic rocks. {T}he #{M}onimiaceae$, #{A}mborellaceae$, and #{T}rimeniaceae$ are more important in forest over acidic rocks. {T}he flora of forests over ultramafites is equally well distinguished from that over acidic rocks by a greater number of species in the #{E}uphorbiaceae$, #{M}yrtaceae$, #{S}antalaceae$, #{E}pacridaceae$, #{F}agaceae$, and #{C}asuarinaceae$.
