Flavoplaca Cranfieldii
''Flavoplaca'' is a genus of crust-like or scaly lichens in the family Teloschistaceae. It has 28 species with a mostly Northern Hemisphere distribution. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 2013 by Ulf Arup, Patrik Frödén and Ulrik Søchting, with ''Flavoplaca citrina'' as the type species. The genus formed a well-supported clade in molecular phylogenetic analysis. ''Flavoplaca'' species are closely related to ''Calogaya'' species that have lobes. There are other genera with roughly similar morphological features as ''Flavoplaca'' (examples include ''Polycauliona'', '' Orientophila'', ''Sirenophila'', and ''Villophora''), but they are genetically different and have different distributions. Arup and colleagues included 26 species in the genus; most were originally named as members of the genera ''Caloplaca'' or ''Lecanora''. Description ''Flavoplaca'' species have a thallus that is either crust-like (crustose lichen, crustose) or scaly (squamulose), sometimes with indist ...
