Redonographaceae
''Redonographa'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the monogeneric family Redonographaceae. It has five species. Taxonomy In 2013, lichenologists Robert Lücking, Anders Tehler, and Helge Thorsten Lumbsch proposed the new family (biology), subfamily Redonographoideae to contain a lineage (evolution), lineage of lichen-forming fungi distinct from the Graphidaceae subfamilies Fissurinoideae and Graphidoideae. They introduced the genus ''Redonographa'' with ''Redonographa chilensis'' assigned its type species. Four species were initially included in the genus; a fifth was added in 2020. The genus is eponym, named in honour of Jorge Redón Figueroa (botany professor at Viña del Mar University and a Emeritus#In academia, professor emeritus at both the University of Chile (Faculty of Sciences) and the University of Valparaíso (Institute of Oceanology) for his significant contributions to Chilean lichenology. In 2020, Lumbsch proposed the family Redonographaceae, with the Auth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carbacanthographis
''Carbacanthographis'' is a genus of corticolous lichen, corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichens in the family Graphidaceae. The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by the German lichenologists Bettina Staiger and Klaus Kalb in 2002. An updated worldwide Identification key, key to the genus was published in 2022 that added 17 new species. This revision allowed for further identification of undescribed species from other collections, and subsequently, 14 species were added in 2023 from the Amazon rainforest, Amazonian lowland forests of Brazil and the Guianas. Description Genus ''Carbacanthographis'' bears a strong resemblance to the genera ''Allographa'' and ''Graphis (lichen), Graphis'', with which it shares several characteristics, such as ''Trentepohlia (alga), Trentepohlia''-like , a typically (blackened) excipulum, and colourless, transversely septum, septate or ascospores. One of the main distinguishing features of ''Carbacanthographis'' is its unique apical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Redonographa Galapagoensis
''Redonographa galapagoensis'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Redonographaceae. Found in the Galápagos Islands, it was formally described as a new species in 2013 by lichenologists Frank Bungartz and Robert Lücking. The type specimen was collected by the first author from Santiago Island. ''Redonographa galapagoensis'' grows along the coast underneath wind- and rain-sheltered, shaded overhangs. ''Redonographa galapagoensis'' was previously reported as ''Carbacanthographis saxiseda'', but it was found to represent an undescribed taxon. It appears to be endemic to the Galapagos Islands. Description The thallus of ''Redonographa galapagoensis'' is and whitish gray, becoming yellowish white in the herbarium, with a smooth, surface. The apothecia are prominent, rounded to shortly , and mostly unbranched. The are , and the are narrow and somewhat with thickened septa and lens-shaped to rounded . The lichen produces norstictic acid, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Graphidaceae
The Graphidaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Graphidales. The family contains nearly a hundred genera and more than 2000 species. Although the family has a cosmopolitan distribution, most Graphidaceae species occur in tropical regions, and typically grow on bark. Taxonomy Graphidaceae was originally proposed by French botanist Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier in 1822 (as "Graphineae"). '' Graphis'', '' Opegrapha'', and '' Arthonia'' were included in the new family. In 2002, the German lichenologist Bettina Staiger revised the Graphidaceae in a monograph, proposing a new classification of genera that was widely accepted until molecular phylogenetic studies led to a further reorganization of the family. Two subfamilies are recognized in the Graphidaceae: *Fissurinoideae *Graphidoideae Subfamily Redonographoideae, proposed by Lücking and colleagues in 2013, has since been promoted to familial status (as the monogeneric family Redonographaceae).

Helge Thorsten Lumbsch
Helge Thorsten Lumbsch (born 1964) is a German-born lichenology, lichenologist living in the United States. His research interests include the phylogeny, taxonomy (biology), taxonomy, and phylogeography of lichen-forming fungi; lichen diversity; lichen chemistry and chemotaxonomy. He is the Associate Curator and Head of Cryptogams and Chair of the Department of Botany at the Field Museum of Natural History. Biography Lumbsch was born in Frankfurt in 1964. Interested in lichens already as a schoolboy, he studied natural sciences at the University of Marburg, under the tutelage of Aino Henssen. He received his diploma in 1989, with a dissertation titled ''Ontogenetisch-systematische Studien der Trapeliaceae und verwandter Familien (Lichenisierte Ascomyceten)'' ("Ontogenic-systematic studies of the Trapeliaceae and related families (lichenized ascomycetes)"). After Henssen's retirement in 1990, he transferred to the University of Duisburg-Essen, University in Essen, where he worked ...

Author Citation (botany)
In botanical nomenclature, author citation is the way of citing the person or group of people who validly published a botanical name, i.e. who first published the name while fulfilling the formal requirements as specified by the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (''ICN''). In cases where a species is no longer in its original generic placement (i.e. a new combination of genus and specific epithet), both the authority for the original genus placement and that for the new combination are given (the former in parentheses). In botany, it is customary (though not obligatory) to abbreviate author names according to a recognised List of botanists by author abbreviation, list of standard abbreviations. There are differences between the botanical code and the normal Author citation (zoology), practice in zoology. In zoology, the publication year is given following the author names and the authorship of a new combination is normally omitted. A small number o ...

Latin
Latin ( or ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic languages, Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally spoken by the Latins (Italic tribe), Latins in Latium (now known as Lazio), the lower Tiber area around Rome, Italy. Through the expansion of the Roman Republic, it became the dominant language in the Italian Peninsula and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. It has greatly influenced many languages, Latin influence in English, including English, having contributed List of Latin words with English derivatives, many words to the English lexicon, particularly after the Christianity in Anglo-Saxon England, Christianization of the Anglo-Saxons and the Norman Conquest. Latin Root (linguistics), roots appear frequently in the technical vocabulary used by fields such as theology, List of Latin and Greek words commonly used in systematic names, the sciences, List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes, medicine, and List of Latin legal terms ...

Taxonomic Rank
In biology, taxonomic rank (which some authors prefer to call nomenclatural rank because ranking is part of nomenclature rather than taxonomy proper, according to some definitions of these terms) is the relative or absolute level of a group of organisms (a ''taxon'') in a hierarchy that reflects evolutionary relationships. Thus, the most inclusive clades (such as Eukarya and Animalia) have the highest ranks, whereas the least inclusive ones (such as ''Homo sapiens'' or ''Bufo bufo'') have the lowest ranks. Ranks can be either relative and be denoted by an indented taxonomy in which the level of indentation reflects the rank, or absolute, in which various terms, such as species, genus, Family (biology), family, Order (biology), order, Class (biology), class, Phylum (biology), phylum, Kingdom (biology), kingdom, and Domain (biology), domain designate rank. This page emphasizes absolute ranks and the rank-based codes (the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Zoological Code, ...

Hymenium
The hymenium is the tissue layer on the hymenophore of a fungal fruiting body where the cells develop into basidia or asci, which produce spores. In some species all of the cells of the hymenium develop into basidia or asci, while in others some cells develop into sterile cells called cystidia ( basidiomycetes) or paraphyses ( ascomycetes). Cystidia are often important for microscopic identification. The subhymenium consists of the supportive hyphae from which the cells of the hymenium grow, beneath which is the hymenophoral trama, the hyphae that make up the mass of the hymenophore. The position of the hymenium is traditionally the first characteristic used in the classification and identification of mushrooms. Below are some examples of the diverse types which exist among the macroscopic Basidiomycota and Ascomycota. * In agarics, the hymenium is on the vertical faces of the gills. * In boletes and polypores, it is in a spongy mass of downward-pointing tubes ...
