The taxonomy of Stenocarpus (Proteaceae: Stenocarpinae) in New Caledonia is reviewed. The name S. grunowii is re-instated at specific rank. Stenocarpus dumbeensis, S. gracilis, S. intermedius, and S. phyllodineus are treated as synonyms of S. umbelliferus. Stenocarpus × heterophyllus
is considered as a hybrid taxon involving parents with multifid and entire leaves. A new species, S. deweae, with red rather than white to yellowish flowers, is described, illustrated and assessed as Endangered according to the IUCN Red List criteria. These changes reduce the number of species now recognized in this genus in New Caledonia from twelve to nine, and all are endemic. An identification key is provided and lectotypes are designated for several names. We also propose new combinations for the three Australian species of Strangea, which are phylogenetically nested within Stenocarpus, with the result that subtribe Stenocarpinae now contains a single genus only, Stenocarpus. Lectotypes are designated for the two names in Strangea based on Drummond's collections from Western Australia.
