Catarrhospora is a genus of two species of lichens in the family Lecideaceae that are found in South Africa. The genus was circumscribed by lichenologist Franklin Andrej Brusse in 1994. [1]
Inezia is a genus of South African plants in the sunflower family.
The Lecanorales are an order of mostly lichen-forming fungi belonging to the class Lecanoromycetes in the division Ascomycota. The order contains 26 families, 269 genera, and 5695 species.
The Psoraceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The Austrian Botanist and Lichenologist Alexander Zahlbruckner first described the family in 1898. Species of this family have a widespread distribution.
The Acarosporaceae are a family of fungi in the order Acarosporales. Members of this family have a widespread distribution, and are lichenized with green algae. According to a 2021 estimate, the family contains 11 genera and about 260 species. The family is characterised by a hamathecium formed of paraphysoids.
Ramalina is a genus of greenish fruticose lichens that grow in the form of flattened, strap-like branches. Members of the genus are commonly called strap lichens or cartilage lichens. Apothecia are lecanorine.
Canoparmelia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Parmeliaceae. The widespread genus contains about 35 species. Canoparmelia, a segregate of the parmelioid lichen genus Pseudoparmelia, was circumscribed by John Elix and Mason Hale in 1986.
Punctelia is a genus of foliose lichens belonging to the large family Parmeliaceae. The genus, which contains about 50 species, was segregated from genus Parmelia in 1982. Characteristics that define Punctelia include the presence of hook-like to thread-like conidia, simple rhizines, and point-like pseudocyphellae. It is this last feature that is alluded to in the vernacular names speckled shield lichens or speckleback lichens.
Peltula is a genus of small dark brown to olive or dark gray squamulose lichens that can be saxicolous ) or terricolous. Members of the genus are commonly called rock-olive lichens. They are cyanolichens, with the cyanobacterium photobiont from the genus Anacystis. They are umbilicate with flat to erect squamule lobes that attach from a central holdfast or cluster of rhizenes. Lichen spot tests are usually negative.
Eremastrella is a genus of lichen in the family Lecideaceae. The genus was circumscribed by lichenologist Stefan Vogel in 1955, with Eremastrella tobleri assigned as the type species.
Glyphopeltis is a genus in the family Psoraceae. It is monotypic, consisting of the single saxicolous lichen species Glyphopeltis eburina, found in southern Africa. This species was formally described as a new species in 1985 by Franklin Brusse, who discovered the type specimen growing on the shaded lower surface of a dolerite boulder in Cape Province.
The Lecideaceae are a family of lichens in the order Lecideales.
Coelopogon is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Parmeliaceae. The genus contains two species found in southern South America and South Africa.
Brusse is a surname. Notable people with the surname include:
Psathyrophlyctis is a genus of fungi in family Phlyctidaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Psathyrophlyctis serpentaria, found in South Africa.
