  abstract = {{T}he taxonomic reference base {F}lorical and characteristics of the native vascular flora of {N}ew {C}aledonia. {T}he floristic inventory presented here comprises the evolving computerised database {F}lorical (http://www.botanique.nc/herbier/florical). {A}s of the date of publication, it lists all native vascular plant species (as well as infraspecific taxa) present in the territory of {N}ew {C}aledonia, whether validly published or in press, along with their basionym, organised according to the most recent classifications systems ({APG} {III} 2009 for the angiosperms, {S}mith et at [2006] for the ferns and lycophytes, and {M}abberley [2009] for the gymnosperms), accompanied by their status (native or endemic) and the various vegetation types in which they occur. {A}fter a brief historical review of our knowledge of {N}ew {C}aledonian botany, the characteristics (richness, composition and endemism) of the different taxonomic groups (ferns and lycophytes, gymnosperms and then angiosperms -mono- and dicotyledons) are analyzed, followed by an assessment of the distribution of these groups among the vegetation types. {T}he vascular flora of {N}ew {C}aledonia is characterised by its high level of richness (3371 species, including 3099 for the flowering plants alone), despite the absence or under-representation of some taxa that are abundantly represented elsewhere in the tropics, and especially by its remarkable distinctiveness (with endemism at the species level reaching 74,7%, and 77.8% for the flowering plants). {T}he flora stands out by the presence of several relictual taxa and a high level of speciation among certain groups, despite the fact that the island was re-colonised relatively recently following the total submersion of its much older basement during the {P}aleocene and the {O}ligocene. {D}etails of the measures taken to conserve this extraordinary natural heritage show that only 3.4% of the territory's total surface area is effectively protected. {D}espite the undeniable progress made in recent years by the authorities concerned, significant work remains to be done, especially in the northern {P}rovince.},
