A new species of Stigmaphyllon (Malpighiaceae) is described: Stigmaphyllonpatricianum-firmenichianum Butaud. It is restricted to the coral islands of Ouvéa, Lifou and Maré in the Loyalty Islands Province (New Caledonia) and is most similar to Stigmaphyllondiscolor (Gand.) C.E.Anderson, known from New Caledonia and Solomon Islands. Previously, plants now known as Stigmaphyllonpatricianum-firmenichianum were included in Stigmaphyllontaomense (Baker f.) C.E.Anderson, endemic to the northern part of Grande-Terre and Belep Islands (New Caledonia). A new circumscription of Stigmaphyllontaomense is proposed. The regional key for New Caledonian species of Stigmaphyllon is updated.
描述了一种新的叶萼木属（金虎尾科）植物：帕特里夏 - 费美尼叶萼木（Stigmaphyllon patricianum - firmenichianum Butaud）。它仅分布于洛亚蒂群岛省（新喀里多尼亚）的乌韦阿岛、利富岛和马雷岛等珊瑚岛，与分布于新喀里多尼亚和所罗门群岛的变色叶萼木（Stigmaphyllon discolor (Gand.) C.E.Anderson）最为相似。此前，现在被称为帕特里夏 - 费美尼叶萼木的植物被归入汤氏叶萼木（Stigmaphyllon taomense (Baker f.) C.E.Anderson），该种为大特里亚岛北部和贝莱普群岛（新喀里多尼亚）的特有种。本文提出了汤氏叶萼木的新界定范围，并更新了新喀里多尼亚叶萼木属物种的区域检索表。
