  abstract = {{T}wo species of {P}ancheria ({C}unoniaceae) described here, {P}ancheria minima {J}.{C}. {B}radford and {P}ancheria ouaiemensis {J}.{C}. {B}radford, draw attention to a recently recognized biodiversity pattern in {N}ew {C}aledonia. {M}ontane maquis on acidic substrates, especially on the {R}oche {O}uaieme, harbors numerous endemic species and is a rare and globally unique ecosystem. {W}e cite 12 species, most described in the past several years, known only from the {R}oche {O}uaieme in an area less than 10 km(2). {O}verall, 27 species are known only from montane maquis and currently not found in a well-protected area. {T}he major local threat to montane maquis habitat is anthropogenic fire, with climate change a possible long-term problem. {T}hose montane maquis species known from one or two localities, occupying very small areas, and with declining habitat quality are critically endangered or endangered based on {IUCN} {R}ed {L}ist criteria. {A}dding the {R}oche {O}uaieme to the reserve system of {N}ew {C}aledonia is recommended to protect and manage a representative area of montane maquis on acidic substrates. {A} research strategy is proposed to identify species most at risk, locate possible unknown areas of montane maquis, and update taxonomic knowledge. {A} review of characters that vary among {P}ancheria species is provided, and the inflorescence architecture is described and diagramed. {B}oth new {P}ancheria species occur at upper elevations in shrubby habitats. {P}. minima is remarkable in that the size of plants, leaves and reproductive parts is highly reduced compared to other known species.},
