Abstract

A taxonomic revision is presented for Cyrtandra in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands. A total of 24 species are recognized, including 17 new species, and their distributions are portrayed on four maps. Field and herbarium studies show that 8 evolutionary lines are represented in the region, 7 of these with strong affinities to New Guinea. The 7 lineages in the Bismarck Archipelago are all New Guinean, and five of these extend to the Solomon Islands. Four Solomon Islands lineages are common to Fiji.
