Name

Coprosma reticulata Florence (Bulletin du Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, B, Adansonia, Ser. 4, 8: 6. 1986).Wikispecies linkPensoft Profile

Type

Marquesas Islands: Nuku Hiva. Toovii, épaulement au-dessus du réservoir [08°52'S, 140°09'W], 970 m, 12 Avril 1982, Florence 4306 (holotype: P!; isotypes: BISH! [2], K!, NY!, PAP!, US!).

Description

Shrubs or small trees 3–10 m tall, up to 12 cm diam., stems glabrous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, decussate, the blades 8.5–19.7 × 3–13 cm, oblanceolate, oblong or elliptic-oblanceolate, glabrous, pinnately veined with 8–13 pairs of secondary veins, higher level venation conspicuously reticulate, raphides conspicuously visible on lower surface along the major veins, which are dark-colored, domatia small, slightly elongated, located along midrib near juncture with secondary veins, apex acuminate, base attenuate; petioles 0.3–1.3 cm long, narrowly winged; stipules ca. 3–5 mm long, connate ½–4/5 of length, glabrous externally, strigose internally, margins ciliate and dentate with conspicuous colleters, apex obtuse to a conspicuous appendage. Inflorescences axillary, simple or occasionally trichotomously branched with 7 flowers, rarely more, each branch with 1–3 nodes the uppermost with a 3-flowered cymule, the others usually with only 1–2 flowers developing on each, these 4–6-merous, peduncles finely, sparsely strigulose. Flowers: male flowers with calyx tube 0.5–1.5 mm long, the lobes 0.3–0.9 mm long, the corolla 6.9–8 mm long, the tube 3.5–4.2 mm long, the lobes 3.4–4 mm long, the stamens with filaments 10–13 mm long, the anthers ca. 5 mm long; female flowers with calyx tube 0.4–0.8 mm long, the lobes 0.3–0.6 mm long, corolla narrowly funnelform, the tube 1.5–2 mm long, the lobes 2.2–2.5 mm long, the styles 8–10 mm long. Fruit 7–8 × 3.5–4 mm, obovoid to ellipsoid, ripening orange, apex with persistent calyx teeth. Pyrenes ovoid-ellipsoid, compressed, 6 × 3 mm, rugulose, dorsally weakly 1-ribbed.

Distribution

Known only from the Toovii area of Nuku Hiva, Marquesas Islands, at elevations from 800 to 1100 m.

Ecology

Coprosma reticulata occurs in wet forest and cloud forest habitat with species of Alsophila, Crossostylis, Fagraea, Freycinetia, Metrosideros, Weinmannia, and an understory of ferns including the genera Dicranopteris, Histiopteris, and Nephrolepis.

Etymology

The specific epithet refers to the distinctive reticulate network of tertiary veins.

Conservation status

Based on the IUCN criteria and categories this species is assigned a preliminary Red List status of Endangered (EN): B1, B2b (i–iii): B1 extent of occurrence <5,000 km²; B2: total area of occupancy less than 500 km² (c. 50 km²); B2b (i–iii), habitat continuing decline inferred in (i) extent of occurrence, (ii) areas of occupancy, and area, (iii) extent and/or quality of habitat. The suitable habitat for Coprosma reticulata on Nuku Hiva (c. 340 km²) is indicated as an endangered environment, threatened by human activity (deforestation and fire), feral animals, and invasive plants, reducing the extent of the forest. The population size for this species is unknown, but based on available herbarium specimens (14) it is apparently not as rare as its Marquesan congeners.
