Elixjohnia
''Elixjohnia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has four species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichens that occur in Australasia. Taxonomy ''Elixjohnia'' was circumscribed in 2017 by Sergey Kondratyuk and Jae-Seoun Jur in 2017, with '' Elixjohnia jackelixii'' assigned as the type species. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the genus is in the large ''Sirenophila''-''Teloschistopsis''-''Halophila'' subclade of the subfamily Teloschistoideae (family Teloschistaceae The Teloschistaceae are a large family of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The family, estimated to contain over 1800 species, was extensively revised in 2013, including the creation o ...). The genus name honours Australian chemist and lichenologist John Alan Elix, John A.
