  • Huberantha in the Pacific Huberantha was only recently recognised as an independent genus; excised from the amorphous Old World Polyalthia s. lat. After a false start with the name Hubera (Chaowasku et al. 2012), some 27 species ranging from East Africa and Madagascar to the South Pacific were transferred to Huberantha (Chaowasku et al. 2015), to be followed by one more from India (Muralidharan et al. 2015) and 4 from Vietnam, the Philippines and New Guinea (Turner 2016). However, the taxonomy of genus is poorly known, particularly in New Guinea and the Pacific. Herbarium material from the Pacific islands included at least 2 new species of Huberantha, which are described below. We consider these species to belong in Huberantha because they have uniovulate carpels, brochidodromous venation with non-decurrent insertion of lateral nerves to the midrib and more or less cuneate, rather than subcordate leaf bases, and relatively hard seeds.
