Gowardia Nigricans
''Gowardia nigricans'', commonly known as the gray hair lichen or gray witch's hair, is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Taxonomy The lichen was first species description, formally described by Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius in 1810, as ''Cornicularia ochroleuca'' var. ''nigricans''. William Nylander (botanist), William Nylander promoted it to distinct species status in 1862, as ''Alectoria nigricans''. A common name, colloquial name used in North America for the lichen is "gray witch's hair". The form (botany), form ''Alectoria nigricans'' f. ''goemerensis'' was proposed by Hungarian lichenologist Vilmos Kőfaragó-Gyelnik in 1932. The form ''Alectoria nigricans'' f. ''subchalybeiformis'' was suggested by Veli Räsänen in 1944. They are no longer considered to have independent taxonomy (biology), taxonomic significance. In 2009, Finnish lichenologists Pekka Halonen, Leena Myllys, Saara Velmala and Heini Hyvärinen proposed the new genus ''Gowardi ...
