19th-century Italian Botanists
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems and confirm ce ...

Bagliettoa
''Bagliettoa'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Verrucariaceae. ''Bagliettoa'' species are endolithic, growing between the grains of solid rock. These lichens are almost invisible to the naked eye, living mostly hidden within limestone and other calcium-rich rocks with only a thin polished rim visible on the surface. They reproduce through tiny flask-shaped fruiting bodies that bore neat pits into the rock as they develop. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by the Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1853. He assigned ''Bagliettoa limborioides'' as the type species. The group comprises endolithic lichens, meaning their thalli are immersed within calcareous rock substrates. For much of the twentieth century, species now placed in ''Bagliettoa'' were inconsistently classified, with many retained in the genus ''Verrucaria''. Although Massalongo and later authors recognised some of their distinctive traits—such as a shield-like with a star-s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
