({S}apotaceae, {C}hrysophylloideae) is endemic to {N}ew {C}aledonia with 66 known species and is subdivided in six subgenera. {W}e have earlier revised four of these subgenera and here continue with {P}. subgenus {L}eptostylis and describe {P}. subgenus {W}agapensia. {S}ubgenus {L}eptostylis is distinguished mainly by its opposite leaves and four sepals, and includes eight species, of which two are described as new ({P}. amplexicaulis and {P}. sclerophylla). {T}wo species, {P}. longiflora and {P}. micrantha, are assumed extinct because extensive fieldwork has not been able to relocate the plants. {V}ariation in leaf morphology was observed in {L}eptostylis gatopensis, which is by consequence considered as synonym of {P}ycnandra filipes. {T}wo additional taxa belong to this subgenus, but cannot presently be described because sufficient fertile material is unavailable. {S}ubgenus {W}agapensia is monotypic and readily distinguished on the basis of its subverticillate leaves and leafy shoots usually borne beneath apical clusters of leaves, a character common in {S}apotaceae but unique in {P}ycnandra. {T}he members of {P}. subgenus {L}eptostylis occur mainly in maquis vegetation or sclerophyllous forests on ultramafic soil, but three taxa are confined to calcareous areas. {M}ining activities in {N}ew {C}aledonian ultramafic areas are extensive and because some of these species are naturally rare, {IUCN} {R}ed {L}ist assessments are provided to all species. {P}ycnandra grandifolia and {P}. wagapensis are assigned the {IUCN} status {V}ulnerable, {P}. amplexicaulis and {P}. sclerophylla are considered {E}ndangered, {P}. filipes subspecies multiflora and {P}. goroensis are considered to be {C}ritically {E}ndangered, whereas {P}. micrantha and {P}. longiflora appear to be extinct.}, keywords = {{TAXONOMIE} ; {GENRE} ; {PHYLOGENIE} ; {ESPECE} {ENDEMIQUE} ; {ARBRE} ; {PHYLOGENIE} ; {NOUVELLE} {CALEDONIE}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{A}ustralian {S}ystematic {B}otany}, volume = {28}, numero = {3}, pages = {91--110}, ISSN = {1030-1887}, year = {2015}, DOI = {10.1071/{SB}15010}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010065844}, }
