Stirtonia (lichen)
''Stirtonia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Arthoniaceae. It contains 22 species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichens found primarily in tropical regions. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by the British lichenologist Annie Lorrain Smith in 1926, with '' Stirtonia obvallata'' assigned as the type species. The species epithet honours the Scottish lichenologist James Stirton. Description The thallus of ''Stirtonia'' contains green algae as its partner. These algae belong to the genus '' Trentepohlia'' and are responsible for photosynthesis within the lichen symbiosis. ''Stirtonia'' lichens reproduce sexually through spore-producing structures called asci. These asci are found in specialised areas of the thallus known as areas. A distinctive feature of ''Stirtonia'' is the presence of interascal hyphae (fungal threads between the asci) that anastomose, or interconnect, forming a network. These hyphae are similar in appearance to the hyphae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
