D1503E49FFBBFFD6FC91FCD0FD3EFD75.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Lepidocupania shares the presence of lepidote scales on its vegetative and reproductive organs with Lepiderema. However, Lepidocupania can easily be distinguished from Lepiderema by the presence (vs. absence) of petal and ovary scales, and it differs from Cupaniopsis by the presence (vs. absence) of glandular scales on its vegetative and fertile organs.	en	Buerki, Sven, Munzinger, Jérôme, Lowry Ii, Porter P., Callmander, Martin W.

D1503E49FFB7FFDBFF21FB8AFA04FE55.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Cupaniopsis inoplea was described based on Balansa 3307. Original material at P is mounted on three sheets, two of which [P 00639140, P 00639141] bear the following note in Radlkofer’s hand: “ Cupaniopsis inoplaea m. Radlk. ” Here we designate the most complete and best-preserved of these two sheets [P 00639140] as the lectotype. It has come to our attention that the original spelling of the epithet, ‘ inoplea ’, was changed to ‘ inoplaea ’ by GUILLAUMIN (1948) and ADEMA (1991), but the rules of nomenclature do not justify this change, and we therefore retain the original spelling, as proposed by RADLKOFER (1879 b). ADEMA (1991) did not indicate that this species grows on calcareous substrate, although two collections cited in his monograph from the Loyalty Islands (Schmid 677 and MacKee (Leg. Suprin) 43447) were gathered without doubt from calcareous sites. Further study will be needed to determine whether these collections belong to Lepidocupania inoplea or another species.	en	Buerki, Sven, Munzinger, Jérôme, Lowry Ii, Porter P., Callmander, Martin W.

D1503E49FFB4FFD8FFD8FED0FDBCF934.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Cupaniopsis tontoutensis was described based on Virot 1448. Original material at P is, however, mounted on two sheets, only one of which [P 00639164] bears the name of Guillaumin’s new species in his own hand, along with the word “ type ”. We regard this specimen as the holotype. Cupaniopsis rotundifolia Adema was only known from the type specimen from the Tontouta River valley, with ecological and edaphic preferences similar to those of C. tontoutensis (≡ Lepidocupania tontoutensis), as mentioned by ADEMA (1991: 161), who wrote: “ Probably closely related to C. fruticosa and C. tontoutensis ”. Cupaniopsis tontoutensis was said to differ from C. rotundifolia by its fewer, wider leaflets with the secondary venation oriented at a wider angle to the midrib, and by the stiff trichomes on the endocarp of its fruits. However, several recent collections made in the lower Tontouta River valley as part of a study of rare species from this area (D’ANGELO, 2017) show a perfect continuum in leaflet shape (as exemplified by Lannuzel & D'Angelo 49 [MPU 312290], Lannuzel & D'Angelo 34 [MPU 091683], and Lannuzel & D'Angelo 39 [MPU 312292]) and fruits (cf. Lannuzel & D'Angelo 32 [MPU 312293]), with leaves clearly corresponding to L. tontoutensis and the presence of stiff trichomes on the endocarp. We have therefore placed C. rotundifolia in synonymy under L. tontoutensis.	en	Buerki, Sven, Munzinger, Jérôme, Lowry Ii, Porter P., Callmander, Martin W.

D1503E49FFB4FFD8FFD8F8B1FA6EFA55.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Neoarytera is characterized by the distinctly thickened central axis of its fruit (vs. not thickened in Arytera and Cupaniopsis), petal scales comprising minute enations (vs. scales adnate to the margins of the petals or free from the petals in the other two genera), and its 3 -, rarely 2 - locular ovary and fruit (vs. ovary and fruit 2 - or 3 - locular in the two other genera). Arytera, as re-circumscribed here, can easily be distinguished by its 2 - layered sarcotesta (vs. single-layer in Cupaniopsis and Neoarytera) (TURNER, 1995: 72). Finally, Cupaniopsis differs from Arytera and Neoarytera by having free or nearly free calyx lobes, which are usually 2 - seriate, orbicular, elliptic or obovate, and concave (vs. calyx shortly cupular, the lobes toothed or divided, and usually ovate in the other two genera) (REYNOLDS, 1985 a).	en	Buerki, Sven, Munzinger, Jérôme, Lowry Ii, Porter P., Callmander, Martin W.
