Tricharia Similis
''Tricharia'' is a genus of lichens in the family Gomphillaceae. It has an estimated 30 species. Taxonomy Recent molecular phylogenetics, molecular studies have shown that the long, carbon-black bristles (sterile ) that once united many species under ''Tricharia'' evolved several times independently within the family. A two-gene phylogeny published in 2024 confirmed that the type lineage (evolution), lineage of ''Tricharia'' (species with pale, thin-walled apothecial rims) forms a well-supported clade distinct from three other "black-setae" groups that had been bundled together on the basis of bristle morphology (biology), morphology. In particular, the Costa Rican species ''Tricharia paradoxa''—long treated as an odd member of the genus—was transferred to the monospecific genus ''Paratricharia'' and shown to be sister group, sister to ''Caleniopsis'' in the early-diverging ''Aulaxina'' clade, far removed from ''Tricharia'' in the strict sense. The same analysis placed the re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Santricharia
''Santricharia'' is a fungal genus in the family Gomphillaceae. It is a monospecific genus, comprising the single species ''Santricharia farinosa'', a leaf-dwelling lichen. Taxonomy ''Santricharia'' was circumscribed by Amanda Xavier-Leite, Marcela Cáceres, and Robert Lücking in 2023. It contains a single species formerly placed in the genus '' Tricharia''. Molecular analysis showed this species to be unrelated to ''Tricharia'', but closely related to '' Rubrotricha'', a genus with which it shares little apomorphy. The genus name honours the Swedish lichenologist Rolf Santesson, who originally described the type species in 1952. Description ''Santricharia'' is a foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen that forms a continuous thallus with a coarsely warted texture. The thallus is often accompanied by numerous black, sterile bristle-like structures (), giving it a distinctive appearance. A dark brown , a marginal layer of fungal tissue, is usually present at the edges of the thallu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

New Guinea
New Guinea (; Hiri Motu: ''Niu Gini''; , fossilized , also known as Papua or historically ) is the List of islands by area, world's second-largest island, with an area of . Located in Melanesia in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, the island is separated from Mainland Australia, Australia by the wide Torres Strait, though both landmasses lie on the same continental shelf, and were united during episodes of low sea level in the Pleistocene glaciations as the combined landmass of Sahul. Numerous smaller islands are located to the west and east. The island's name was given by Spanish explorer Yñigo Ortiz de Retez during his maritime expedition of 1545 due to the perceived resemblance of the indigenous peoples of the island to those in the Guinea (region), African region of Guinea. The eastern half of the island is the major land mass of the nation of Papua New Guinea. The western half, known as Western New Guinea, forms a part of Indonesia and is organized as the provinces of Pap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tricharia Duotela
''Tricharia duotela'' is a species of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen in the family Gomphillaceae. It is characterized by its pale greenish-grey to white color, small , and preference for open habitats. Found in South Florida, it can be found on the leaves of saw palmetto in pine barrens. This lichen is similar to other species in the genus ''Tricharia'', but it is differentiated by its smaller ascospores and unique . Taxonomy ''Tricharia duotela'' was formally described by lichenologists William Sanders and Robert Lücking. The species was discovered by the first author in Lee County, Florida, at the Florida Gulf Coast University campus on May 31, 2014. The holotype specimen was found on the leaf blade of a ''Serenoa repens'' plant. The species epithet ''duotela'' comes from the Latin word ''telum'' ("weapon"), referring to the morphologically distinct sterile and of the lichen. Description The ''Tricharia duotela'' lichen has a thallus that is continuous to dispersed, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
