  abstract = {{R}ecent fieldwork has revealed a new species of {V}irotia, a genus of {P}roteaceae endemic to {N}ew {C}aledonia. {T}his understory monocaulous shrub or tree was found in two nearby rainforests on ultramafic substrate in the {P}oro region. {W}e report high concentrations of manganese (10,900 mg.g(-1)) and nickel (2,900 mg.g(-1)) in dry leaves of this species. {T}his is one of the few cases of simultaneous hyperaccumulation of these metals in angiosperms. {T}his rare micro-endemic species is given a conservation status of critically endangered due to the impact of nickel mining, fire and fragmentation on its habitat.},
