Description & ecology
Listed by Jaffré et al. (2013) among New Caledonian manganese hyperaccumulators exceeding 1% leaf dry weight (>10,000 µg/g Mn); the max here is set at the documented threshold floor because the review does not state a precise maximum.
Older Jaffré-school figures place foliar Mn substantially higher, but those exact values were not re-verified for this record.
