  Acmopyle pancheri description
Buchholz describes Acmopyle alba, among other characters, that the pollen cones are larger 18-20 mm long by 3 mm in diameter, in contrast to Acmopyle pancheri 10-20 mm long by 2.3 mm in diameter.
Acmopyle pancheri is dispersed in the ombrophilous, humid forests throughout the main island from sea level to 1200 m above sea level.

 RBGE: Research on Acmopyle pancheri (Podocarpaceae) at RBGE
Acmopyle pancheri is one of only two species in its genus, and is endemic to New Caledonia.
We found that Acmopyle had many features of the ‘podocarp’ suite of hydrodynamics characters, such as pollen with functional sacci (‘bladders’) and which floats upwards in a pollination drop.
These include the fact that, in Acmopyle, pollination drop retraction is an active process, not a passive one as in most Podocarpaceae, and starts immediately upon pollination.

 Acmopyle description
The genus Acmopyle is remarkable for its fleshy seeds that later become erect and for the initial position of the inclined ovule (see Mill et al.
Superficially, the leaves of Acmopyle resemble or have been confused with the leaves of Prumnopitys ferruginoides.
Nevertheless, Acmopyle is in between Falcatifolium and Dacrycarpus with maybe the fleshy seed as a difference and also the rib of the leaves as the only other major difference.
