Phylliscidiopsis is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Lichinaceae. It is monotypic, containing the single species Phylliscidiopsis abissinica. [1]
The Lichinaceae are a family of ascomycete fungi. Most species are lichenized with cyanobacteria, and have a distribution largely in temperate regions.
Maria Cengia Sambo was an Italian botanist, specializing in lichenology. Her work in the early twentieth century on the nature of the lichen symbiosis along with collection of many specimens and records of lichen distributions was particularly significant.
