Pallidogramme Chrysenteron
''Pallidogramme'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It has 8 species of corticolous lichen, corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens. Taxonomy ''Pallidogramme'' was proposed in 2008 by the lichenologists Bettina Staiger, Klaus Kalb, and Robert Lücking, as a replacement name for ''Leucogramma'' . The justification for this change originated from the previously established ''Hemithecium'' subgen. ''Leucogramma'' by Staiger in 2002. There was, however, a pre-existing generic name, ''Leucogramma'' , which was based on the same species as Staiger's subgenus, ''Hemithecium chrysenteron''. Both of these names were unusable at the genus level due to their Homonym (biology), homonymy with ''Leucogramma'' a name with unknown taxonomy (biology), taxonomic affinity. As a result, a new name was deemed necessary to avoid confusion and maintain nomenclatural clarity. Description The defining features of genus ''Pallidogramme'' include a crustose lichen, cr ...

Bettina Staiger
Bettina Staiger (born 1968) is a German lichenologist known for her systematic studies of tropical lichen families, particularly the Graphidaceae. Born in Stuttgart, she completed her doctoral research at the University of Regensburg under Klaus Kalb's supervision, defending her dissertation on Graphidaceae taxonomy in 2002. Her research combines traditional morphological methods with chemotaxonomy and molecular phylogenetics, producing influential monographs on several lichen genera including '' Haematomma'', ''Diorygma'', and '' Ramboldia''. She received the prestigious de Candolle Prize in 2004 for her contributions to botanical research. Early life and education Staiger was born in Stuttgart and read natural sciences and biology at the University of Regensburg between 1988 and 1995, a period in which she encountered the tropical lichen specialist Klaus Kalb. She undertook doctoral research under Kalb's supervision on the taxonomically unruly family Graphidaceae and def ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Taxa Described In 2008
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (Binomial nomenclature, scientific names) in the fungus Kingdom (biology), kingdom. As of 2015, the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research New Zealand Limited, Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate Correct name (botany), correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page, a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of Synonym (taxonomy), synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized b ...

Platygramme Commutabilis
''Platygramme'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae consisting of about 30 species. The genus was circumscribed by Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée in 1874.

Validly Published Name
In botanical nomenclature, a validly published name is a name that meets the requirements in the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (''ICN'') for valid publication. Valid publication of a name represents the minimum requirements for a botanical name to exist: terms that appear to be names but have not been validly published are referred to in the ''ICN'' as "designations". A validly published name may not satisfy all the requirements to be '' legitimate''. It is also not necessarily the correct name for a particular taxon and rank. Names that are not valid by ICN standards (''nomen invalidum'', ''nom. inval.'') are sometimes in use. This may occur when a taxonomist finds and recognises a taxon and thinks of a name, but delays publishing it in an adequate manner. A common reason to delay valid publication is that a taxonomist intends to write a ''magnum opus'' that provides an overview of the group, rather than a series of small papers. Another re ...
