COMMENTS

Heteroscyphus physanthus (Hook.f. & Taylor) R.M.Schust. is reported as doubtful record inThouvenot et al. (2011). The only report in New Caledonia of this species, regarded as endemic to New Zealand, was from Tixier (1972) as Chiloscyphus physanthus Taylor. The relevant voucher in the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle of Paris (PC[PC0146342]) turned out to be Heteroscyphus deplanchei (as H. heteromorphis). Therefore, this species must be removed from the New Caledonian flora.
