Abstract

From New Caledonia, the new species Eutassa latifolia de Laub. (Araucariaceae) is distinguished from E. rulei (F. Muell.) de Laub. by the hooked apices of the leaf blades. Its conservation status is assessed as Least Concern (LC) by IUCN criteria. The species Lagarostrobos colensoi (Hook.) Quinn (Podocarpaceae) transfers as Lepidothamnus colensoi (Hook.) de Laub.; the species Nothotsuga longibracteata (W. C. Cheng) Hu (Pinaceae) transfers as Keteleeria longibracteata (W. C. Cheng) de Laub.
