Abstract

A new species of Pandanus from the Belep Archipelago, northwestern New Caledonia, is described: Pandanus belepensis. This new species can be distinguished by the dimension of its leaves, the shape of its syncarp and drupe apex, and the arrangement of its stigmas. A description of the new species is provided, with illustrations, a discussion of its morphological affinities, and a conservation assessment based on the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
