0F6433A08116ECD82EB1A30731A268E0.taxon	discussion	Discussion. We agree with B. Schrire who annotated in 2004 the P 00379654 specimen (M. Debray 2296) as a new species allied to I. australis Willd. Specimens of Indigofera dumbeana were previously referred to I. australis by Guillaumin (1936). These species are clearly rendered distinct by the habit as I. dumbeana presents plagiotropical, almost horizontal branches, stipules triangular or asymmetrical and falciform (vs. linear), and flowers with a five lobate calyx and white petals (vs. flowers with a truncate calyx and pink to purple petals). Indigofera dumbeana is more similar to I. zollingeriana, both occurring as a tall shrub or small tree habit with plagiotropical branches, but they are clearly distinct by the fruit straight with rectangular seeds linearly arranged (vs. fruit sinuous with transversely compressed seeds arranged like a stack of coins in I. zollingeriana). Additionally, they present important differences in leaf and flower traits as presented in Table 1.	en	Pignal, Marc, Paganucci de Queiroz, Luciano (2019): The genus Indigofera (Leguminosae) in New Caledonia: two new species and a key for the species.

EB75B59DDC2DCDE1D0217F28F484CB10.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Indigofera monieriana occurs in shrubby maquis vegetation or low forests on schisto-serpentine soil or ferritic soil. It is found in low altitudes on coastal formations from sea level up to about 700 m. Although it occurs in an open environment, it grows under the shadow of higher bushes (See Fig. 2). Coastal formations, especially sclerophyll forests, have greatly reduced (Bouchet et al. 1995, Jaffre et al. 2002).	en	Pignal, Marc, Paganucci de Queiroz, Luciano (2019): The genus Indigofera (Leguminosae) in New Caledonia: two new species and a key for the species.

EB75B59DDC2DCDE1D0217F28F484CB10.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is dedicated to Louis-Guillaume Lemonnier (1717 - 1799), " associe de l'Institut, ci-devant membre de l'Academie des sciences, conseiller d'Etat honoraire, et premier medecin du Roi " (Cuvier 1861) [Associate of the French Institute, former member of the Academy of Sciences, Honorary State Councilor, and First Physician of the King] who herborised with C. Linnaeus, J. - J. Rousseau, Antoine and Bernard de Jussieu. We adopt the spelling " Monier " used by J. - B. Fusee Aublet in his herbarium kept at the Paris Museum and known as " Jean-Jacques Rousseau herbarium " (P-JJR), from the name of its most famous owner.	en	Pignal, Marc, Paganucci de Queiroz, Luciano (2019): The genus Indigofera (Leguminosae) in New Caledonia: two new species and a key for the species.

EB75B59DDC2DCDE1D0217F28F484CB10.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Guillaumin (1936) noted that several virgate specimens from New Caledonia could not be reported to the typical Indigofera australis and he preferred to determine them as I. australis var. gracilis DC. However, a careful examination of the type collection of this variety (Sieber Fl. Novae. Holl. 380, G, K, P) shows that the New Caledonian material is clearly distinguished from I. australis by the less numerous leaflets (5 - 9 vs. 17 - 25 in I. australis), mostly obovate with an emarginate apex, lower surface whitish or greyish green and inconspicuous venation (vs. leaflets mostly elliptical with acute to rounded apex, green lower surface and raised venation; see Table 1 for further distinctive characters). Besides, I. australis is restricted to Australia and, although presenting a broad morphological variation (Wilson and Rowe 2010), its diagnostic features do not overlap with I. monieriana. The new taxon is also remarkable for its articulate leaf rachis and its dark ferruginous colleters (multicellular thick secretory hairs) at the insertion of petiolules on the rachis.	en	Pignal, Marc, Paganucci de Queiroz, Luciano (2019): The genus Indigofera (Leguminosae) in New Caledonia: two new species and a key for the species.
