Holotypus: CAROLINE ISLANDS: Truk [Chuuk] atoll, VI.1931, Kanehira 1268 ( FU; iso-: A [ A00050841 ] image seen, BISH [ BISH1004940 About BISH ] image seen, P [ P05301428 ]!).

Distribution and ecology. – Lepidocupania guillauminii is endemic to Chuuk atoll in the Caroline Islands, where it grows in lowland evergreen forests on volcanic soil and humus ( ADEMA, 1991).

Note. – While ADEMA (1991: 122) noted that the available material of this species is rather incomplete and that it resembles both L. concolor and L. samoensis , he recognized it as distinct based on several differences in the amount of indument and in features of the fruits.
