1. Clave Generica Para Los Liquenes Folio- Sos Y Fruticosos De Los Paramos Colombianos
CONTRIBUCION AL CONOCIMIENTO DE LOS LIQUENES DE COLOMBIA - 1. CLAVE GENERICA PARA LOS LIQUENES FOLIO- SOS Y FRUTICOSOS DE LOS PARAMOS COLOMBIANOS Po r HARRIE J. M. SIPMAN 1 Y JAIME AGUIRRE C. 2 INTRODUCCION La presente clave ha sido elaborada para las zonas montafiosas altas de Colombia, arriba de los 3.000 m de altitud (selva andina alta y paramo}. En estas regiones hay una gran variedad y abundancia de maeroliquenes a difereneia de las zonas 0 regiones tropieales donde los mieroliquenes (formas crustaceas] son los mas abundanres, Generalmente los maeroliquenes son eneontrados en estado esteril (sin aseoearpos), por 10 tanto no pueden ser [acilmenre identificados eon el estudio de Zahlbruekner (1926) para los liquenes del mundo. Ademas muehos ge- neros nuevos han sido deseritos desde entonees, prineipalmente por separaei6n de Parmelia. Esto concierne en especial a: Everniastrum, Hypogymnia, Hypo- tracbyna, Parmelina, Parmotrema, Xanthoparmelia, y recientemente Cetra- riastrum (Sipman, 1980). Por estas razones se ha elaborado una clave nueva utilizando principalmente caracteres vegetativos. La clave se basa en observaciones personales de especimenes colombianos de la easi totalidad de los generos induidos; estes se eneuentran deposit ados en COL y U.

Philippine Lichens with Bulbate Cilia – Bulbothrix and Relicina (Parmeliaceae)
Philippine Journal of Science 148 (4): 637-645, December 2019 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 21 May 2019 Philippine Lichens with Bulbate Cilia – Bulbothrix and Relicina (Parmeliaceae) Paulina Bawingan1,2*, Mechell Lardizaval1, and John Elix3 1School of Natural Sciences, Saint Louis University, Baguio City 2600 Philippines 2 Biology Department, Tagum Doctors College, Tagum City 8100 Philippines 3Research School of Chemistry, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia This paper presents a taxonomic treatment of Bulbothrix and Relicina lichens (Ascomycota, Parmeliaceae) collected in the Philippines, two genera characterized by the presence of bulbate cilia. A total of five species of Bulbothrix and fifteen species of Relicina were identified, with one new record for each genus. The Philippines is a major center of diversity for Relicina. Keywords: coronate apothecia, lichenic acid crystals, parmelioid lichen, retrorse cilia, Hale INTRODUCTION black and the rhizines and cilia may be simple, sparsely, or densely branched. Both genera have apothecia that The genera Relicina (Hale & Kurok.) Hale and Bulbothrix may be coronate (with black bulbils adorning the rim of Hale belong to Parmeliaceae, one of the largest families the thalline exciple; Figure 1E) or ecoronate; the discs are of lichenized fungi. Both are segregates of Parmelia Ach. imperforate, ranging from concave to flat and sometimes s. lat. According to Hale (1975, 1976), both genera have even convex. Some species of both genera have retrorse their centers of distribution in tropical regions – in South cilia i.e., having rhizinae in the thalline exciple (Figure America and southern Africa for Bulbothrix and Southeast 1F). The unicellular ascospores can be ovoid, ellipsoid, Asia for Relicina. -

Lichens from Mount Kinabalu
281 Tropical Bryology 8: 281-314, 1993 Lichens from Mount Kinabalu J.J.M. Sipman Botanischer Garten und Museum, Königin-Luise-Str. 6-8, 14115 Berlin, Germany Abstract: 286 species of lichenized fungi on Mount Kinabalu are recorded by field survey and investigation of literature records and herbarium material. An annotated catalogue is presented, together with habitat notes, and a list of collectors. The summit area has a saxicolous lichen flora of boreal affinities, while the lower zones are more closely related to other SE Asian mountains. Eleven species appear to be restricted to the mountain, and four new species are described: Phaeographis kinabalensis, Stereocaulon granulans, Pertusaria epitheciifera and Thelotrema subweberi. 1. Introduction 1965, 1967, Beaman & Beaman 1993). Among Mount Kinabalu is in many respects a the cryptogams, bryophytes have received remarkable site for plant life. It rises up to more considerable attention (Menzel 1988 and than 4000 meters from large stretches of lowland successive papers of this series, 1988a). Lichens and low mountains, so that its higher parts are have been collected from the beginning of the very strongly isolated from areas with a similar exploration on, but mostly in an incidental and climate. Geologically it is a very young and fast- unrepresentative way. An important exception rising mountain, and its plant life seems to have is Mason E. Hale, who visited the mountain in had little time to adapt to high altitude conditions. August of 1968 and collected over one thousand Also its bedrock sets it apart. Its central part is specimens, especially Parmeliaceae and composed of granite, surrounded by a ring of Graphidales. -
Molecular Data Support Pseudoparmelia As a Distinct Lineage Related to Relicina and Relicinopsis (Ascomycota, Lecanorales)
The Lichenologist 47(1): 43–49 (2015) 6 British Lichen Society, 2015 doi:10.1017/S0024282914000577 Molecular data support Pseudoparmelia as a distinct lineage related to Relicina and Relicinopsis (Ascomycota, Lecanorales) Kawinnat BUARUANG, Klara SCHARNAGL, Pradeep DIVAKAR, Steven D. LEAVITT, Ana CRESPO, Thomas H. NASH, Leka MANOCH, Robert LU¨ CKING and H. Thorsten LUMBSCH Abstract: The phylogenetic position of the genus Pseudoparmelia was addressed using molecular data from five loci (mtSSU, nuLSU, ITS, Mcm7, RPB1), generated from three species and aligned with sequences from 293 samples representing all major clades of Parmeliaceae. Pseudoparmelia species form a well-supported monophyletic group that is the sister group of a clade consisting of the genera Relicina and Relicinopsis. These three genera share a thallus with a pored epicortex, isolichenan as cell wall polysaccharide, and relatively small ascospores. Morphological and chemical characters that distinguish Pseudoparmelia from the closely related Relicina and Relicinopsis are discussed. To further elucidate the relationships of these three genera, we assembled a second dataset including 15 addi- tional samples of Relicina and Relicinopsis using three loci (mtSSU, nuLSU, ITS). All three genera are monophyletic but monophyly of Relicina lacks support and, in the mtSSU single locus tree, the genus is paraphyletic with Relicinopsis nested within. Additional studies including more Relicina species are necessary to test delimitation of the genera Relicina and Relicinopsis.

An Evolutionary View of the Taxonomy and Ecology of Inocybe (Agaricales)

ISBN: 978-91-85529-28-5 Dissertation Abstract Martin Ryberg (2009). An evolutionary view of the taxonomy and ecology of Inocybe (Agaricales) with new perspectives gleaned from GenBank metadata. University of Gothenburg, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Box 461, 405 30 Göteborg, Sweden Inocybe (Inocybaceae) is one of the most speciose genera among the gilled mushrooms (Agaricales) but large parts of its taxonomy and evolutionary history remain poorly explored. The present thesis shows that the traditional infrageneric classification of Inocybe does not fully reflect evolutionary relationships and that the two most commonly used taxonomic characters, spore shape and presence of a cortina, have not evolved in such a way as to define unique monophyletic groups. The section Rimosae, in its traditional circumscription, is divided into two separate clades by the present analyses, and Rimosae s.str. does not group with the subgenus Inosperma - where it is commonly placed - but forms a separate clade more closely related to the subgenus Inocybe. Also the sections of the subgenus Inocybe, the largest of the subgenera, should in general be interpreted in a strict sense if they are to reflect monophyletic groups. -

MycoKeys 40: 13–28. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.40.26724 Abstract Xanthoparmelia (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) is the most species-rich genus of lichen-forming fungi. Spe- cies boundaries are based on morphological and chemical features, varying reproductive strategies and, more recently, molecular sequence data. The isidiate Xanthoparmelia mexicana group is common in arid regions of North and Central America and includes a range of morphological variation and variable sec- ondary metabolites – salazinic or stictic acids mainly. In order to better understand the evolutionary his- tory of this group and potential taxonomic implications, a molecular phylogeny representing 58 ingroup samples was reconstructed using four loci, including ITS, mtSSU, nuLSU rDNA and MCM7. -
