Malmidea Inflata
''Malmidea'' is a genus of crustose lichens and the type genus of the family Malmideaceae. It was established in 2011 to contain a phylogenetically distinct group of species formerly placed in the genus ''Malcolmiella''. ''Malmidea'' comprises more than 50 mostly tropical species that grow on bark, although a few grow on leaves. Taxonomy Both the family Malmideaceae and the genus ''Malmidea'' were created in 2011 to accommodate a group of species, formerly placed in genus ''Malcolmiella'' (family Pilocarpaceae), that molecular phylogenetics showed to be a distinct lineage and worthy of recognition at the family level. Klaus Kalb, Eimy Rivas Plata, and H. Thorsten Lumbsch originally placed 37 species in the genus – 5 new species and 32 new combinations. Many additional species have since been transferred to ''Malmidea'' from other genera, or described as new. The generic name ''Malmidea'' honours Swedish botanist Gustaf Oskar Andersson Malme Gustaf Oskar Andersson ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
