  abstract = {{A} new species in the previously monotypic, endemic {N}ew {C}aledonian genus {G}astrolepis ({S}temonuraceae) is described. {G}astrolepis alticola differs from {G}. austrocaledonica by its shorter and thicker petioles, strongly coriaceous leaves with revolute margins, shorter inflorescences, and pubescent corollas. {T}he new species is further distinguished by its ecology, occurring only in high-altitude maquis on two massifs in southern {N}ew {C}aledonia, {M}t. {K}ouakoue and the {M}ontagne des {S}ources. {G}astrolepis alticola is assigned a preliminary conservation status of '{E}ndangered' using the {W}orld {C}onservation {U}nion ({IUCN}) {R}ed {L}ist criteria. {C}omparison of the {IUCN} threat status for the 19 species endemic to this distinctive, restricted vegetation type reveals a striking lack of consistency and underscores the need for a reassessment of the entire {N}ew {C}aledonian flora.},
