Lasallia
''Lasallia'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Umbilicariaceae. The genus name of ''Lasallia'' is in honour of Mr. Lasalle (around 1820), who was a French gardener and botanist, who worked in Fontainebleau. It was circumscribed by François Victor Mérat de Vaumartoise in Nouv. Fl. Paris ed.2, vol.1 on page 202 in 1821. The genus contains 12 species with a widespread, but predominantly temperate distribution. Phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer DNA has shown that the genus is monophyletic. High performance liquid chromatography analysis of eleven ''Lasallia'' species revealed a number of secondary metabolites in this genus, including gyrophoric acid, lecanoric acid Lecanoric acid is a chemical produced by several species of lichen.ubChem - Lecanoric acid"> Lecanoric acid is classified as a polyphenol and a didepside and it functions as an antioxidant.

François Victor Mérat De Vaumartoise
François Victor Mérat de Vaumartoise (5 July 1780 in Paris – 13 March 1851 in Paris) was a French physician, botanist and mycologist. In 1803 he obtained his medical doctorate with a thesis on heavy metal poisoning, afterwards serving as ''chef de clinique'' at the ''Hôpital de la Charité'' in Paris. He was a member of the '' Académie nationale de médecine'', a correspondent member of the ''Société linnéenne de Lyon'' (1824–1851)Sociétés savantes de France

and a member of the ''Société nationale et centrale d'agriculture''. He was an Officer of the ''Légion d'honneur'' (1847) and a Chevalier of the ''Order du Christ de Portugal'' (1828). He expanded the work reported in his doctoral dissertation with additional reports on the effects of ...

Umbilicariales
The Umbilicariales are an order of lichenized fungi in the subclass Umbilicariomycetidae, class Lecanoromycetes. It contains five families: Elixiaceae, Fuscideaceae, Ophioparmaceae, Ropalosporaceae, and Umbilicariaceae. Umbilicariales was proposed as a new order in 2007, while the subclass Umbilicariomycetidae was proposed in 2013. Families and genera , Species Fungorum accepts 5 families, 18 genera, and 107 species in the order Umbilicariales: *Elixiaceae ::'' Elixia'' – 2 spp. ::'' Meridianelia'' – 1 sp. *Fuscideaceae ::'' Albemarlea'' – 1 sp. ::''Fuscidea'' – 31 spp. ::''Hueidea'' – 1 sp. ::'' Lettauia'' – 2 sp. ::'' Maronea'' – 2 spp. ::'' Maronora'' – 1 sp. ::''Orphniospora'' – 2 spp. *Ophioparmaceae ::'' Boreoplaca'' – 1 sp. ::''Hypocenomyce'' – 5 spp. ::''Ophioparma'' – 4 spp. ::'' Rhizoplacopsis'' – 1 sp. * Ropalosporaceae ::''Ropalospora'' – 8 spp. *Umbilicariaceae ::'' Fulgidea'' – 2 spp. ::''Lasallia'' – 5 spp. ::''Umbilicaria R ...

Umbilicaric Acid
Umbilicaric acid is an organic polyphenolic carboxylic acid made by several species of lichen. It is named after ''Umbilicaria''. Umbilicaric acid is a tridepside, containing three phenol rings. Identification of unbilicaric acid can be important in the identification of lichen species.

Lecanoromycetes Genera
Lecanoromycetes is the largest class of lichenized fungi. It belongs to the subphylum Pezizomycotina in the phylum Ascomycota. The asci (spore-bearing cells) of the Lecanoromycetes most often release spores by rostrate dehiscence. Genera of uncertain placement The are several genera in the Lecanoromycetes that have not been placed into any order or family. These are: *''Argopsis'' – 1 sp. *''Ascographa'' - 1 sp. *'' Bartlettiella'' – 1 sp. *'' Bouvetiella'' – 1 sp. *'' Buelliastrum'' – 1 sp. *'' Haploloma'' – 1 sp. *'' Hosseusia'' – 3 spp. *'' Korfiomyces'' – 1 sp. *'' Maronella'' – 1 sp. *'' Notolecidea'' – 1 sp. *'' Petractis'' – 3 spp. *'' Piccolia'' – 10 spp. *'' Ravenelula'' – 2 spp. *'' Robincola'' – 1 sp. *''Roburnia ''Roburnia'' is a genus of fungi in the Helotiales order.

Index Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names ( scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are ''MycoBank'' and ''Fungal Names''. Current names in ''Index Fungorum'' (''Speci ...
