0E7287D4C124FFBAFCA80BA7FB2BAA01.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Diospyros inexplorata, based on a single specimen from Île Nou, corresponds in all respects to D. calciphila, including its occurrence on limestone of coral origin. The fruits on the type of D. inexplorata are only slightly larger than those normally encountered throughout the range of D. calciphila, which occurs primarily on limestone substrate in the Îles Loyauté, and less commonly on ultramafic substrate on the l’Île des Pins (WHITE, 1993 a, 1993 b).	en	Schatz, George E., Lowry Ii, Porter P.

0E7287D4C127FFB9FF0109E7FDBEA881.taxon	discussion	Notes. – WHITE (1993 a) described D. erudita from dry maquis vegetation on the Plateau de Tiéa and Mt. Kopéto, distinguishing it from D. revolutissima by its smaller, less revolute leaves with a lustrous upper surface. However, based on material from the Vavouto peninsula, individual specimens of which exhibit leaves similar to those from the Plateau de Tiéa along with others typical of D. revolutissima in their size, degree of revoluteness, and upper surface glossiness, we conclude that D. erudita represents a form of D. revolutissima adapted to particularly dry conditions.	en	Schatz, George E., Lowry Ii, Porter P.

0E7287D4C127FFB8FCB10C71FE85AF2A.taxon	discussion	Notes. – WHITE (1993 a) described D. fastidiosa from a single flowering specimen from Aoupinié and D. nebulosa from two fruiting specimens from Mt. Panié. In addition to the type specimen of D. fastidiosa, two additional recent flowering specimens from Aoupinié (Munzinger 6632, 7249) show the characteristic inflorescence structure of D. vieillardii, albeit with slightly larger flowers. Moreover, the fruiting specimens of D. nebulosa from Mt. Panié are identical to those of D. vieillardii. Although D. vieillardii occurs nearly exclusively on ultramafic soils, which are not found on either Aoupinié or Mt. Panié, the leaves of material assigned to both D. fastidiosa and D. nebulosa conform exactly to those of D. vieillardii in their complete absence of any visible venation on the lower surface. We therefore consider D. fastidiosa and D. nebulosa to be geographic outliers of D. vieillardii growing on nonultramafic soils.	en	Schatz, George E., Lowry Ii, Porter P.

0E7287D4C126FFBDFFF80B47FEA8AFAB.taxon	discussion	Notes. – Diospyros hequetiae is distinctive among other dry forest species on ultramafic substrate by its small, flat, elliptic to orbicular leaves with white or black appressed trichomes on the lower surface, vs strongly revolute margins and glabrous lower surface of the leaves of D. revolutissima. Leaves in some material of D. minimifolia can resemble somewhat those of D. hequetiae in their size, shape and flatness, but the fruits of D. minimifolia are considerably smaller and, moreover, D. minimifolia occurs only on black clay soils.	en	Schatz, George E., Lowry Ii, Porter P.
