  abstract = {{A}petahia and {S}clerotheca are two small genera of {C}ampanulaceae (subfam. {L}obelioideae) endemic to {S}outh {E}ast {P}olynesia ({F}rench {P}olynesia and the {C}ook {I}slands).{T}hese groups comprise from small shrubs to small trees (up to 3 m tall) that are restricted to upland tropical rainforests and montane cloud forests, where they are generally found between 400 and 2000 m above sea level. {W}e investigated their molecular phylogenetics by sequencing four plastid loci. {W}e found that the two genera together form a well-supported {G}lade but did not find support for their reciprocal monophyly. {T}he genus {S}clerotheca is supported as monophyletic {G}lade that may be nested within a paraphyletic {A}petahia. {B}ecause of their morphological similarities, we opted to treat them as a single genus, {S}cierotheca s.l., comprising ten species, and here provide the necessary new combinations, {S}clerotheca raiateensis comb. nov. and {S}clerotheca seigelii comb. nov. {T}he expanded genus {S}clerotheca has a patchy geographical distribution with remarkable disjunctions and may be undergoing a long-term decline. {C}onservation efforts to protect these highly threatened endemic species (all classified {CR} or {EN} according to the {IUCN} red {L}ist) are urgently needed, as they may be also considered as indicators of long-term ecological changes.},
