Réhabilitation de l'espèce Elaeocarpus coumbouiensis Guillaumin (Elaeocarpaceae) de Nouvelle-Calédonie

Elaeocarpus coumbouiensis Guillaumin, species placed in synonymy under E. alaternoides Brongn. & Gris in the revision of the family Elaeocarpaceae for New Caledonia in 1982, is resurrected. To support the recognition of these two species as distinct taxa, some morphological characters are highlighted as the elliptic shape of the leaves, the frequency of domatias and the nearly glabrous to glabrous state of the ovary.
