Phlyctis Chilensis
''Phlyctis'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the order Gyalectales, and the type genus of the family Phlyctidaceae. Members of the genus are commonly called blemished lichens. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Julius von Flotow in 1850. The ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (2008) estimated the widespread genus to contain 12 species, but several species have been described and added to the genus since then.

Phlyctis Argena
''Phlyctis argena'' is a species of crustose lichen. Description ''Phlyctis argena'' has a thin crustose thallus that is white, greyish or green-grey in colour. The identification can be confirmed with the spot test application a drop of potassium hydroxide (K-test) to the thallus, which will turn yellow and then red. Range Widespread, including Africa, Asia, Europa and North America. Habitat ''Phlyctis argena'' usually grows as a generalist epiphyte on the bark of deciduous trees, especially ''Salix cinerea'' and ''Fraxinus excelsior''. It also occasionally grows on stone, such as gravestones. Ecology The lichen is a generalist epiphyte of deciduous trees and is acidophilic. Its abundance appears to have increased generally since the 1970s, possibly in responses to changes in air pollution levels Etymology The etymology of the genus name, ''Phlyctis'', comes from the obsolete medical term phlyctidium, meaning a large blister. The species epithet, argena, is derived from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Phlyctis Subagelaea
''Phlyctis subagelaea'' is a species of crustose lichen in the family Phlyctidaceae. It was described as new to science in 2006 from material collected in the tropical forests of southern India. Its species epithet, ''subagelaea'', refers to its strong resemblance to the related species ''Phlyctis agelaea''. Taxonomy ''Phlyctis subagelaea'' was formally described by the lichenologists Santosh Joshi and Dalip Kumar Upreti in 2006, based on a specimen collected from the Periyar Tiger Reserve in the Idukki district of Kerala, India. This specimen, deposited as the holotype at LWG (National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow), serves as the reference for this species. Description ''Phlyctis subagelaea'' forms a crustose, thin, and somewhat patchy thallus on tree bark. Its surface is whitish-grey with a rough, uneven, and cracked texture, lacking an outer layer. A —an initial growth layer at the edges of the thallus—may be indistinct or occasionally visible as a slightly b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phlyctis Sirindhorniae
''Phlyctis sirindhorniae'' is a little-known species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Phlyctidaceae. It shares some similarities with ''Phlyctis agelaea'' but can be distinguished by its smaller , larger , and a higher number of ascospores per ascus. It is only known to exist in a specific location in northeastern Thailand. Taxonomy ''Phlyctis sirindhorniae'' was formally described by lichenologists Vasun Poengsungnoen, Kajohnsak Vongshewarat, and H. Thorsten Lumbsch in 2019. The type specimen was collected on the trunk of the tree '' Lophopetalum wallichii'' in a dry dipterocarp forest near Ramkhamhaeng University Chaloem Phrakiat Campus in Nong Bua Lamphu province, Thailand. The specific epithet ''sirindhorniae'' honours Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand for her Plant Genetic Conservation Project, which aims to preserve the country's plant varieties.

Phlyctis Psoromica
''Phlyctis psoromica'' is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Phlyctidaceae. Native to New South Wales, Australia, it was described as new to science in 2011. This lichen is characterised by its whitish to pale blue-grey crustose thallus and distinctive secondary chemistry. Taxonomy ''Phlyctis psoromica'' was first scientifically described by Australian lichenologists John Elix and Gintaras Kantvilas.
