Description:

Text French. The flora of New Caledonia is known worldwide for its exceptional richness, with some 3371 native species of vascular plants, 3/4 of which are endemic to the territory. The originality of this flora is remarkable, both at the higher taxonomic levels (about a hundred genera and three endemic families) and in the concentration of primitive or unusual lineages, such as a parasitic conifer or plants accumulating heavy metals.

Species have yet to be described, and research programmes are needed to better understand the origin of this diversity and contribute to its preservation.

[La flore de Nouvelle-Calédonie est mondialement connue pour son exceptionnelle richesse, avec quelque 3 371 espèces indigènes de plantes vasculaires dont les 3/4 sont endémiques du territoire.L'originalité de cette flore est remarquable, tant aux niveaux taxonomiques supérieurs (une centaine de genres et trois familles endémiques) que par la concentration de lignées primitives ou inhabituelles, telles qu'un conifère parasite, ou des plantes accumulatrices de métaux lourds.

Des espèces restent encore à décrire et des programmes de recherche sont nécessaires pour mieux comprendre l'origine de cette diversité et contribuer à sa préservation.]
