  abstract = {{T}hree endemic species of {X}yris ({X}yridaceae, {P}oales) are currently recognized in {N}ew {C}aledonia. {A} recent multivariate analysis of 18 morphological characters based on 129 specimens of {X}yris from {N}ew {C}aledonia, supported by 10 anatomical and micromorphological observations, suggested that three species should be recognized in the {N}ew {C}aledonian archipelago. {H}owever, the three published names did not correspond to the three entities identified via the multivariate analyses. {T}he results showed that {X}yris neocaledonia {R}endle was morphologically distinct but requires lectotypification, {X}yris guillauminii {C}onert was indistinct from {X}. pancheri {R}endle, and that a new morphologically distinct species required description. {W}e therefore propose to clarify the taxonomy of the genus for {N}ew {C}aledonia, by designating a lectotype, making this synonymy and describing the new species. {T}he new species, {X}yris desquamatus {J}.{R}.{M}orel & {M}unzinger, sp. nov., has the remarkable feature of leaves that are shed as the plant senesces, and is reflected in the specific epithet for this new species. {L}ine drawings are provided for the new species, along with colour photos for the three {N}ew {C}aledonian {X}yris species and a distribution map. {T}hree identification keys are provided, the first based on vegetative characters, the second on reproductive characters and the third on anatomical features of the leaf. {X}yris desquamatus is preliminarily assigned an {IUCN} risk of extinction assessment of vulnerable.},
