It shares New Caledonia, with the endemic S. vitreocincta (Herzog) X.L.He & Glenny some features distinctive from the rest morphology, Perssoniella, of the genus. In addition, the occurrence of S. vitreocincta is clarified, the gynoecium of S. integerrima new species. Steph. is newly described and a key to the New Caledonian species of Schistochila is provided. RÉSUMÉ Schistochila gradsteinii sp. nov., une nouvelle espèce néocalédonienne apparentée à S. vitreocincta (Schistochilaceae, Marchantiophyta), avec une clé des espèces locales et une description du gynoecium de S. integerrima. Schistochila gradsteinii Thouvenot sp. nov., est ajoutée aux cinq espèces de Schistochila Dumort. déjà connues de Nouvelle-Calédonie. La nouvelle espèce se distingue par l’absence d’amphigastre, des feuilles bilobées aux marges entières, avec des lobes ventraux plus grands, oblong-lancéolés ou oblong-ovales, apiculés, des lobes dorsaux oblong-ovales, insérés sur la surface dorsale des lobes ventraux, les marges MOTS CLÉS Schistochilaceae, libres n’atteignant pas les marges ventrales, cellules foliaires avec des trigones apparemment constitués hépatiques, de trois couches, des tiges avec un net epiderme. Elle partage avec l’endémique S. vitreocincta (Herzog) Nouvelle-Calédonie, X.L.He & Glenny plusieurs caractères les distinguant du reste du genre. En supplément, l’occurrence morphologie, Perssoniella, de S. vitreocincta est affinée, le gynoecium deS. integerrima Steph. est nouvellement décrit et une clé espèce nouvelle. des espèces néocalédoniennes de Schistochila est donnée.

Especially concerned in the New Caledonian context, Schistochila vitreocincta (Herzog) X.L.He & Glenny. are the following taxa. On the one hand, Paraschistochila R.M.Schust., created by Schuster (1963) to accommodate Australian Systematic Botany 23: 237 (2010). species lacking underleaves, was later on included in Gotts- chea Nees ex Mont. by Grolle & Zijlstra (1984). On the COMMENTS other hand, the monotypic genus Perssoniella Herzog was Several expeditions in New Caledonia since 2008 increased created by Herzog (1952) for the New Caledonian endemic our knowledge of the repartition of S. vitreocincta that Perssoniella vitreocincta Herzog. This species exhibits such Schuster (1964) described as limited to a few localities, in outstanding features that Schuster (1963, 1964) introduced the vicinity of Montagne des Sources. In fact, the claim a new family, Perssoniellaceae R.M.Schust., and the new of this author that “the genus (Perssoniella) is seemingly suborder Perssoniellinae R.M.Schust. These two genera were restricted to the Araucaria-Agathis zone in the montane later transferred to Schistochila by He & Glenny (2010), but portions of southwestern New Caledonia” is partly true but further publications (Sun et al. 2014; Engel & Glenny 2019) S. vitreocincta is more frequent that then presumed. In this provide arguments for them to be kept as valid genera. In area, which corresponds to the southern ultramafic mas- the phylogeny of Sun et al. (2014), Perssoniella is sister to sif, this species grows on the barks of many large trunks of Gottschea and “is on a very long branch from the base of the Araucariaceae species and was observed in elevations from Gottschea clade”. But the estimated date of this divergence, 200 m to 1400 m. 67 Mya, is inconsistent to the geological history of New Caledonia which was undergoing a long submersion until 37 Mya ago (Grandcolas et al. 2008).
