Sigridea
''Sigridea'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Roccellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Anders Tehler in Cryptog. bot. vol.3 (2) on page 145 in 1993. The genus name of ''Sigridea'' is in honour of Sigrid Tehler, who was the daughter of the author (of the genus), Anders Tehler.

Sigridea Labyrinthica
''Sigridea labyrinthica'' is a species of lichenicolous ( lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Arthoniaceae. Discovered on the Pacific coast of Chile, it was formally described as a new species in 2003 by Gerhard Follman, who first classified it in the genus ''Plectocarpon''. Damien Ertz and Paul Diederich transferred it to the genus ''Sigridea'' in 2005. The holotype was collected at Punta Caraumilla, Bahia Laguna Verde, southwest of Valparaíso, on September 15, 1968, by . The fungus grows specifically on the thallus of '' Roccella portentosa'', a fruticose lichen commonly found along the rocky Pacific coast. The species epithet ''labyrinthicum'' (Latin for "labyrinthine" or "intricate") refers to the maze-like appearance of its gall-forming ascomata (fruiting bodies). ''Sigridea labyrinthica'' is characterised by its distinctive fructifications, forming flattened galls measuring 0.9–3.8 mm in horizontal diameter and 0.4–1.2 mm in vertical diameter on its host. ...

Roccellaceae
The Roccellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Arthoniomycetes. Most taxa are lichenized with green algae, although some are lichenicolous, growing on other lichens.

Lichenized Fungi
A lichen ( , ) is a composite organism that arises from algae or cyanobacteria living among filaments of multiple fungi species in a mutualistic relationship.Introduction to Lichens – An Alliance between Kingdoms . University of California Museum of Paleontology. Lichens have properties different from those of their component organisms. They come in many colors, sizes, and forms and are sometimes plant-like, but are not plants. They may have tiny, leafless branches ( fruticose); flat leaf-like structures ( foliose); grow crust ...

Circumscription (taxonomy)
In biological taxonomy, circumscription is the content of a taxon, that is, the delimitation of which subordinate taxa are parts of that taxon. If we determine that species X, Y, and Z belong in Genus A, and species T, U, V, and W belong in Genus B, those are our circumscriptions of those two genera. Another systematist might determine that T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z all belong in genus A. Agreement on circumscriptions is not governed by the Codes of Zoological or Botanical Nomenclature, and must be reached by scientific consensus. A goal of biological taxonomy is to achieve a stable circumscription for every taxon. This goal conflicts, at times, with the goal of achieving a natural classification that reflects the evolutionary history of divergence of groups of organisms. Balancing these two goals is a work in progress, and the circumscriptions of many taxa that had been regarded as stable for decades are in upheaval in the light of rapid developments in molecular phylogene ...

Anders Tehler
Anders is a male name in Scandinavian languages and Fering North Frisian, an equivalent of the Greek Andreas ("manly") and the English Andrew. It originated from Andres via metathesis. In Sweden, Anders has been one of the most common names for many centuries, earliest attested in 1378. It was common for priests and farmers during medieval times. According to Statistics Sweden, as of 31 December 2002 it ranks 4th among the male names. The great frequency of this name at the point in time (around 1900) when patronymics were converted into family names is the reason why 1 out of every 30 Swedes today is called Andersson. The name day of Anders in the Scandinavian calendar is 30 November, and in the old peasant superstition that day was important for determining what the Christmas weather would be. If it was very cold on 30 November there would be much sleet on Christmas (and vice versa). In Denmark Donald Duck's name is ''Anders And''. The Fering name Anders may have been bor ...

Species Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names ( scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with 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 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 synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are ''MycoBank'' and '' Fungal Names''. Current names in ''Index Fungorum'' (''Sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Roccellina Leptothalla
''Roccellina'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Roccellaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 1898 by British botanist Otto Vernon Darbishire with '' Roccellina condensata'' as the type, and at that time, only species. A year earlier, Darbishire published the genus ''Roccellaria'' to contain the species ''Roccellaria intricata''. More than a century later, molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that this species is nested in the polyphyletic genus ''Roccellina''. Because ''Roccellaria'' was published earlier than ''Roccellina'', the name ''Roccellaria'' has priority, threatening to disrupt the nomenclature of all the ''Roccellina'' species. To avoid this nomenclatural instability, Swedish botanist Anders Tehler made a proposal to formally conserve the name ''Roccellina'' over ''Roccellaria''; the proposal was later accepted by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi in 2010.
