Monoblastiaceae
The Monoblastiaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the monotypic order Monoblastiales. It contains six genera. These lichens typically form inconspicuous thin crusts or films on bark, rock, or leaves, often appearing as little more than a whitish or greyish discolouration of the surface. They reproduce through tiny black flask-shaped structures embedded in the crust that release spores through small pores at their tips. The family includes about 120 species distributed worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where they grow in humid environments. Taxonomy The family was circumscribed by the British botanist William Watson in 1929 to accommodate a group of lichens characterised by crustose or leafy thalli with '' Trentepohlia'' or allied algae as , except for '' Haplopycnula'', which has Phyllactidium as its photobiont. Watson distinguished the family by its simple perithecia with apical pores and asci containing 2–8 simple spores. The family incl ...

Anisomeridium
''Anisomeridium'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Monoblastiaceae. These lichens form thin, nearly invisible crustose lichen, crusts that grow mostly embedded within the bark of trees or other surfaces. They are distinguished by their tiny flask-shaped fruiting bodies and distinctive spores that have internal septum, cross-walls positioned closer to one end than the other. Taxonomy The type species was originally named ''Arthopyrenia xylogena'' by the Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1883; in 1928, Maurice Choisy defined the genus ''Anisomeridium'', designating ''A. xylogena'' as the type. Description ''Anisomeridium'' forms an inconspicuous crust that lies almost completely within its substrate (biology), substrate—usually the bark of broad-leaved trees, but sometimes decaying wood, mosses, or shaded rock. Because the thallus is immersed it appears only as a faint pale-grey film or scatter of whitish patches, and it lacks a separate ...

Megalotremis
''Megalotremis'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Monoblastiaceae. It has 16 species. The genus was circumscribed by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot in 1991, with '' Megalotremis verrucosa'' assigned as the type species. ''Megalotremis'' is a genus, meaning its species have ascocarps: spherical or flask-shaped, sessile or partly immersed in the thallus, with a single opening (ostiole) and enclosed by a distinct wall.

Acrocordia Macrospora
''Acrocordia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Monoblastiaceae. These lichens form thin, whitish to pale grey crusts on tree bark and rocks, appearing as scattered black dots where their tiny flask-shaped reproductive structures emerge from the surface. The genus includes nine species found in various parts of the world, typically growing in mildly alkaline environments on broad-leaved trees or damp, mineral-rich rock faces. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by the Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1854, with '' Acrocordia garovaglii'' assigned as the type species. Massalongo distinguished ''Acrocordia'' by its fruiting bodies, which are partially buried to prominent and cone-shaped or dome-like, and by its gelatinous thallus structure. The genus is characterised by spore-containing sacs with eight ascospores each, accompanied by thread-like structures, and distinctive greenish spores that are somewhat constricted in the middle.

Trentepohlia (alga)
''Trentepohlia'' is a genus of filamentous chlorophyte green algae in the family Trentepohliaceae, living free on terrestrial supports such as tree trunks and wet rocks or symbiotically in lichens. The filaments of ''Trentepohlia'' often have a strong orange colour (photograph at right) caused by the presence of large quantities of carotenoid pigments which mask the green of the chlorophyll. Nomenclature Organisms belonging to the genus ''Trentepohlia'' were first described by Linnaeus in 1759; he named his species ''Byssus aureus'' (currently known as ''Trentepohlia aurea''). The genus was circumscribed by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius in Fl. Crypt. Erlang. on page 351 in 1817. The genus name of ''Trentepohlia'' is in honour of Johann Friedrich Trentepohl (1748–1806), who was a German clergyman and botanist. He worked as a lecturer and Pastor in various places in Wesermarsch. Martius' name was conserved in favor of the moss genus ''Trentepohlia'' and the Brassicaceae ...

Coccotrema
''Coccotrema'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi. It is the type genus of the family Coccotremataceae, in the order Pertusariales. The genus contains 16 species. Taxonomy ''Coccotrema'' was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Swiss botanist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1889, with ''Coccotrema antarcticum'' assigned as the type species. In a 2001 publication, Schmidt and colleagues showed, using molecular phylogenetics, that the species then known as ''Lepolichen coccophorus'' (the type species of the genus ''Lepolichen'', created by Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon, Trevisan in 1853) was nested in a clade that contained ''Coccotrema'' species, and so transferred that species into ''Coccotrema'', as ''Coccotrema coccophorum''. However, the genus ''Lepolichen'' is older than ''Coccotrema'', and so its name has Principle of Priority, priority according to the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, rules for botanical nomenclatu ...

Thallus
Thallus (: thalli), from Latinized Greek (), meaning "a green shoot" or "twig", is the vegetative tissue of some organisms in diverse groups such as algae, fungi, some liverworts, lichens, and the Myxogastria. A thallus usually names the entire body of a multicellular non-moving organism in which there is no organization of the tissues into organs. Many of these organisms were previously known as the thallophytes, a polyphyletic group of distantly related organisms. An organism or structure resembling a thallus is called thalloid, thalloidal, thalliform, thalline, or thallose. Even though thalli do not have organized and distinct parts ( leaves, roots, and stems) as do the vascular plants, they may have analogous structures that resemble their vascular "equivalents". The analogous structures have similar function or macroscopic structure, but different microscopic structure; for example, no thallus has vascular tissue. In exceptional cases such as the Lemnoideae, where th ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
