ABSTRACT The genus Callerya is for the first time recorded from New Caledonia, and a new species from lowland sclerophyllous forest, C. neocaledonica I.C. Nielsen & Veillon, is described.

It is characterised by its early caducous, filiform stipels, densely puberulous 2.5-5 cm long leaf rhachis, 8-10 long and 6 cm wide panicles, the lower calyx teeth broadly triangular and the upper two forming an emarginate lip, and the two basal callosities of the standard.
