Synonymy

Acropogon is a genus, endemic to New Caledonia, of plants related to Sterculia. 24 species are recognised.

The genus was introduced by Schlechter in 1906 for the 3 species fatsioides, sagenifolius and schummanianus. Morat transferred the remaining New Caledonian species of Sterculia - Sterculia austro-caledonicus Hook f., Sterculia bullata Panch. & Sebert, Sterculia dzumacensis Guillaumin, Sterculia francii Guillaumin, Sterculia megaphylla Bureau , Poisson & Guillaumin and Sterculia scheffleraefolia Guillaumin - to Acropogon in 1986. He described three additional species, aoipinesis, domatifer and veillonii in 1988. He subsequently described, in 2003, in association with Chalopin, grandiflorus, macrocarpus, merytifolius and schistophilus, in 2005, again in association with Chalopin, bosseri, chalopiniae, jaffrei and margaretae, and in 2007, still in association with Chalopin, calcicolus, paagoumenensis, pilosus and tireliae. (The name Acropogon reptans is mentioned at Endemia, but has not been published, and might be an earlier working name for one of the other species..)
