The name is re-instated at specific rank. , , , and are treated as synonyms of . × is considered as a hybrid taxon involving parents with multifid and entire leaves. A new species, , with red rather than white to yellowish flowers, is described, illustrated and assessed as Endangered according to the IUCN Red List criteria. These changes reduce the number of species now recognized in this genus in New Caledonia from twelve to nine, and all are endemic.
