Wetmoreana
''Wetmoreana'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has two crustose, saxicolous (rock-dwelling) species. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 2013 by Ulf Arup, Ulrik Søchting, and Patrik Frödén, with ''Wetmoreana texana'' assigned as the type species. The genus name honours lichenologist Clifford Wetmore, "in appreciation of his major contributions to the knowledge of the North American Teloschistaceae". Three species were included in the original circumscription of the genus, but two of them have since been transferred to the genus ''Fulgogasparrea''. ''Wetmoreana tenax'' was transferred to the genus in 2013 (from ''Xanthoria''), but later (2020) moved to the genus '' Massjukiella''. Description Both species of ''Wetmoreana'' are either squamulose or crustose with distinct . The thallus often forms asexual propagules, such as , isidia, or soredia. If apothecia are present, they are orange with a form. Ascospores are with septa that are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
