Japewiella
''Japewiella'' is a genus of lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It was circumscribed in 2000 by German botanist and lichenologist Christian Printzen as a segregate of the genus '' Japewia''. The genus name of ''Japewia'' was in honour of Peter Wilfrid James (1930 - 2014), who was an English botanist (Mycology and Lichenology). The genus was circumscribed by Christian Printzen in Bryologist vol.102 on page 715 in 1999. The type, '' Japewiella carrollii'', is an oceanic species that occurs in maritime regions of Europe and Macaronesia. Description ''Japewiella'' species are crust lichens that grow on bark. They are characterized by their biatorine apothecia, thick-walled, simple ascospores, eight-spored asci with a conspicuous ''masse axiale'' (similar to asci found in members of genus ''Lecidella''). They have a well-developed excipulum (a saucer-shaped rim around the hymenium) comprising branched and anastomosing, gelatinized hyphae. Species *'' Japewiella carrollii'' (Copp ...

Japewiella Dollypartoniana
''Japewiella dollypartoniana'' is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. It is widely distributed in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern North America, and has also been reported from Ontario, Canada. The lichen grows on tree branches and sapling and shrub stems at middle to high elevations. Taxonomy The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Jessica Allen and James Lendemer. The type specimen was found in the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness area of Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina. Here it was found growing on an exposed rock in a heath bald community dominated by ericaceous shrubs such as ''Rhododendron'', ''Vaccinium'', and ''Kalmia'', at an altitude of . The specific epithet honors Dolly Parton, described by the authors as "one of the most famous country singers of all time and a native of the southern Appalachians".

Lecidella
''Lecidella'' is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Lecanoraceae. Taxonomy ''Lecidella'' was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1855. It was not widely used until more than a century later, when Hannes Hertel recognized it first as a subgenus of ''Lecidea'', and then a couple of year after as a distinct genus. A phylogenetic analysis of the genus using 11 species (mostly from China) found that ''Lecidella'' species fall into three major clades, which were proposed as three informal groups: ''Lecidella stigmatea'' group, ''L. elaeochroma'' group and'' L. enteroleucella'' group. Description ''Lecidella'' species have a thallus that is crustose lichen, crustose, and , meaning that it resembles the genus ''Biatora''–having a proper exciple, which is not coal-black (, but coloured or blackening. It has eight-spored ascus, asci of the ''Lecidella'' type. The ascospores are and hyaline, while the conidia are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ascus
An ascus (; : asci) is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi. Each ascus usually contains eight ascospores (or octad), produced by meiosis followed, in most species, by a mitotic cell division. However, asci in some genera or species can occur in numbers of one (e.g. '' Monosporascus cannonballus''), two, four, or multiples of four. In a few cases, the ascospores can bud off conidia that may fill the asci (e.g. '' Tympanis'') with hundreds of conidia, or the ascospores may fragment, e.g. some '' Cordyceps'', also filling the asci with smaller cells. Ascospores are nonmotile, usually single celled, but not infrequently may be coenocytic (lacking a septum), and in some cases coenocytic in multiple planes. Mitotic divisions within the developing spores populate each resulting cell in septate ascospores with nuclei. The term ocular chamber, or oculus, refers to the epiplasm (the portion of cytoplasm not used in ascospore formation) that is surrounded by the ...
