Abstract

This paper presents Artocarpus buyangensis, a newly-described species known only from Manus Island, Papua New Guinea. A member of Artocarpus subgenus Artocarpus phylogenetically placed near A. section Artocarpus series Rugosi, A. buyangensis most closely resembles Artocarpus elasticus and A. sericicarpus, neither of which is found east of the Moluccas. The new species thus represents a substantial eastward expansion for the A. series Rugosi clade. Long-distance dispersal, perhaps by birds, is suggested as a possible explanation for the origin of A. buyangensis.
