Redonographaceae
''Redonographa'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the monogeneric family Redonographaceae. It has five species. Taxonomy In 2013, lichenologists Robert Lücking, Anders Tehler, and Helge Thorsten Lumbsch proposed the new family (biology), subfamily Redonographoideae to contain a lineage (evolution), lineage of lichen-forming fungi distinct from the Graphidaceae subfamilies Fissurinoideae and Graphidoideae. They introduced the genus ''Redonographa'' with ''Redonographa chilensis'' assigned its type species. Four species were initially included in the genus; a fifth was added in 2020. The genus is eponym, named in honour of Jorge Redón Figueroa (botany professor at Viña del Mar University and a Emeritus#In academia, professor emeritus at both the University of Chile (Faculty of Sciences) and the University of Valparaíso (Institute of Oceanology) for his significant contributions to Chilean lichenology. In 2020, Lumbsch proposed the family Redonographaceae, with the Auth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carbacanthographis
''Carbacanthographis'' is a genus of corticolous lichen, corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichens in the family Graphidaceae. The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by the German lichenologists Bettina Staiger and Klaus Kalb in 2002. An updated worldwide Identification key, key to the genus was published in 2022 that added 17 new species. This revision allowed for further identification of undescribed species from other collections, and subsequently, 14 species were added in 2023 from the Amazon rainforest, Amazonian lowland forests of Brazil and the Guianas. Description Genus ''Carbacanthographis'' bears a strong resemblance to the genera ''Allographa'' and ''Graphis (lichen), Graphis'', with which it shares several characteristics, such as ''Trentepohlia (alga), Trentepohlia''-like , a typically (blackened) excipulum, and colourless, transversely septum, septate or ascospores. One of the main distinguishing features of ''Carbacanthographis'' is its unique apical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
