  abstract = {{N}ew {C}aledonia is renowned as one of the world's most significant biodiversity hotpots. {T}he nutrient-deficiency and cations imbalances of ultramafic soils, which cover a third of the island, harbor a disproportionally high proportion of the plant diversity and endemism of {N}ew {C}aledonia. {T}his review explores how ultramafic soils have influenced the exceptional endemism and richness of {N}ew {C}aledonia trough the concomitant occurrences of habitat patchiness, climatic instability, environmental gradient, and edaphic heterogeneity of ultramafic soils. {W}e focus on the unique 'maquis' vegetation where selective pressures by nutrient deficiency and trace element surplus are at their acme. {W}e aim to synthesize our current understanding of diversification and speciation of lineages that have been phylogenetically studied to date. {F}ragmentation of the peridotite mantle in isolated massifs, and as such spatial heterogeneity of ultramafic soils types, appear to promote plant endemism and speciation. {R}epeated independent dispersal events of pre-adapted species and persistence of paleo-endemic lineages have contributed to the phylogenetic diversity and the endemism of the ultramafic flora. {F}inally, historical climatic instability has caused shifts of rain forest species in refugia thereby favoring the extension of maquis species.},
