Platismatia Glauca
''Platismatia glauca'' is a common and widespread species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Taxonomy It was first formally described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work ''Species Plantarum''. William and Chicita Culberson transferred it to the genus ''Platismatia'' in 1968. Research ''Platismatia glauca'' can acclimate to large variations in the availability of environmental nitrogen. It efficiently assimilates increased nitrogen into its thallus, increasing the size as well as the photosynthetic capabilities of its photobiont. Chemistry Several secondary metabolites have been isolated ffrom the lichen, including the nor-triterpene ketone, 30-nor-21α-hopan-22-one, the depside A depside is a type of polyphenolic compound composed of two or more monocyclic aromatic units linked by an ester bond.

Platismatia Erosa
''Platismatia erosa'' is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Asia, it was formally described as a new species in 1968 by William and Chicita Culberson. The species epithet ''erosa'' refers to the "eroded" quality of the reticulations on the upper thallus surface. The lichen has been recorded from Japan, Taiwan, Java, Vietnam, Nepal, the Philippines, and Sikkim, and Tibet. Chemical analysis of the lichen (using thin-layer chromatography) revealed two lichen products previously unknown in genus ''Platismatia'', pannaric acid and jackinic acid. Two chemotype A chemotype (sometimes chemovar) is a chemically distinct entity in a plant or microorganism, with differences in the composition of the secondary metabolites.

Platismatia Interrupta
''Platismatia interrupta'' is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in southern Russian Far East, and Japan, it was formally described as a new species in 1968 by William and Chicita Culberson. The species epithet ''interrupta'' refers to the indistinct and discontinuous reticulation of the upper thallus surface. The lichen of one of the most common foliose macrolichens in Japan, particularly at high elevations, where it grows on tree trunks and on boulders.

Platismatia Tuckermanii
''Platismatia tuckermanii'' is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It was first formally described as a species of ''Cetraria'' in 1843 by American botanist William Oakes. The species epithet honours lichenologist Edward Tuckerman, who collected the type specimen in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1838. William and Chicita Culberson transferred the taxon to the genus ''Platismatia'' in 1968. The lichen is found in Canada and the Southeastern United States. Although usually encountered growing on conifer Conifers are a group of conifer cone, cone-bearing Spermatophyte, seed plants, a subset of gymnosperms. Scientifically, they make up the phylum, division Pinophyta (), also known as Coniferophyta () or Coniferae.

Cetrelia
''Cetrelia'' is a genus of leafy lichens in the large family Parmeliaceae. They are commonly known as sea-storm lichens, alluding to the wavy appearance of their lobes. The name of the genus, circumscribed in 1968 by the husband and wife lichenologists William and Chicita Culberson, alludes to the former placement of these species in the genera '' Cetraria'' and '' Parmelia''. The main characteristics of the genus are the broad, rounded lobes of the greyish-green lichen body, and the presence of tiny pores in the outer surface (the cortex) that enable gas exchange. The lower surface of the lichen is brown to black with few root-like rhizines to act as holdfasts, resulting in a fairly loose attachment to the surface the lichen is on. Sexual reproductive structures are usually not present, so the physical characteristics used to distinguish between ''Cetrelia'' species include the presence or absence of asexual reproductive structures such as isidia, soredia, and ...
