Bellemerea

	Bellemerea ''Bellemerea'' is a genus of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichens in the family Lecideaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1984 by Josef Hafellner and Claude Roux, with '' B. alpina'' as the type species. The generic name honours French lichenologist André Henri Bellemère (1927–2014).

	Bellemerea Alpina ''Bellemerea alpina'', the brown sunken disk lichen, is a white to pale tan, thick crustose areolate lichen that grows on rock in the mountains worldwide. It grows in arctic-alpine habitats in Eurasia, North America (south to California and Arizona), Australia, and New Zealand.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, Areoles are sometimes contiguous and sometimes dispersed. It often has very visible black prothallus. The brown to tan apothecia have a purplish tinge and are grayed by a pruinose coating, and embedded in the areoles, giving a similar appearance to members of the genus ''Aspicilia ''Aspicilia'' (sunken disk lichen) is a genus of mostly crustose areolate lichens that grow on rock. Most members have black apothecia discs that are slightly immersed in the areolas, hence the common name.Field Guide to California Lichens, Ste ...''.

	Bellemerea Elegans ''Bellemerea elegans'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Lecideaceae. Found in Antarctica, it was formally described as a new species in 2009 by Norwegian lichenologist Dag Øvstedal. The type specimen was collected from the Admiralty Bay area of King George Island. Here, at an altitude of , it was found growing on boulders that were overgrown with the beard lichen '' Usnea aurantiacoatra''. ''Bellemerea elegans'' is only known from the type specimen. It has a crustose, grey, areolate thallus measuring wide. Its apothecia are more or less immersed in the thallus (aspicilioid), measuring up to 1.1 in diameter, with a dull brown disc. Ascospores number eight per ascus, and measure 12–14 by 5–7 μm The micrometre ( international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American spelling), also commonly known as a micron, is a unit of length in the Interna ...
