Menegazzia fertilis is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia. It was described as new to science in 1992. [1]
Menegazzia is a genus of lichenized fungi containing roughly 70 accepted species. The group is sometimes referred to as the tree flutes, honeycombed lichens, or hole-punch lichens. The most obvious morphological feature of the genus is the distinctive perforations spread across the upper side of the thallus. This makes the group easy to recognise, even for those not particularly familiar with lichen identification.
Menegazzia confusa is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia. It was formally described as a new species in 1987 by lichenologist Peter James. The type specimen was collected by Gintaras Kantvilas near Lake Leake Road in Tasmania, where it was found growing on the bark of Exocarpos cupressiformis in a sclerophyll forest. It also occurs in Victoria. The lichen is quite similar to Menegazzia platytrema, but typically has more crowded apothecia, and lobes that are shorter and more congested. Menegazzia confusa contains caperatic acid as its primary lichen product, whereas M. platytrema contains stictic acid and related compounds.
Menegazzia conica is a species of foliose lichen from Australia. It was described as new to science in 1992.
Menegazzia corrugata is a species of foliose lichen from Australia. It was described as new to science in 1992.
Menegazzia dispora is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen from South America. It was first formally described in an 1876 publication of James Crombie, with authorship attributed to Finnish lichenologist William Nylander. The type specimen was collected as part of a scientific expedition to South America conducted on the Royal Navy survey vessel HMS Nassau. Rolf Santesson transferred it to the genus Menegazzia in 1942.
Menegazzia elongata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen found in Australia. It was formally described as a new species by lichenologist Peter J. James in 1992. The type specimen was collected by Leif Tibell in Tasmania.
Menegazzia fissicarpa is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia. It was described as new to science in 1992.
Menegazzia foraminulosa is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen that is endemic to New Zealand. The lichen was first formally described as a new species in 1876 by August von Krempelhuber. Friedrich Bitter transferred it to the genus Menegazzia in 1901. The species contains several lichen products, including depsides, depsidones, as well as fatty acids and pigments.
Menegazzia globulifera is a species of foliose lichen found in New Zealand, Australia, and southern South America. It was formally described as a species new to science in 1942 by Swedish lichenologist Rolf Santesson. The type specimen was collected north of Lago Fagnano. The lichen is typically encountered as an epiphyte, but occasionally it has been recorded growing on rocks. Menegazzia globulifera contains usnic acid and lecanoric acid as major lichen products.
Menegazzia grandis is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia. It was described as new to science in 1992.
Menegazzia inactiva is a species of foliose lichen found in New Zealand and Australia. The type locality of this species is in Tasmania, south of Arthur River near Sumac Road. The species was discovered on Tasmannia lanceolata in rainforest habitat. The type specimen is held at the herbarium of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.
Menegazzia kantvillasii is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia and South America. It was described as new to science in 1992. The specific epithet honours Australian lichenologist Gintaras Kantvilas.
Menegazzia minuta is a rare species of foliose lichen that is endemic to Tasmania, Australia. It was scientifically described as a new species in 1987 by lichenologists Peter James and Gintaras Kantvilas. The type specimen was collected by the second author south of Arthur River, where the lichen was found in a rainforest growing on twigs of leatherwood. The species epithet minuta refers to the small size of its thallus. Menegazzia minuta contains protolichesterinic acid, a lichen product that helps to distinguish it from the similar species Menegazzia eperforata, which instead contains stictic acid and related compounds. In a 2012 publication, Kantvilas called M. minuta "one of Tasmania's rarest lichens", characterised by a "glossy olive-brown thallus of minute, spidery lobes, densely beset with lobule-like isidia".
Menegazzia myriotrema is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia.
Menegazzia neozelandica is a species of foliose lichen from New Zealand, Australia, and South America. It was first described by Austrian botanist Alexander Zahlbruckner in 1929 as Parmelia neozelandica. Peter James transferred it to the genus Menegazzia in 1992.
Menegazzia norstictica is a species of foliose lichen from Australia. It was described as new to science in 1992.
Menegazzia pertransita is a species of foliose lichen in the large lichen family Parmeliaceae. It is found in New Zealand, Australia, and South America. The lichen was first formally described by Scottish physician and bryologist James Stirton in 1877 as Parmelia pertransita. Swedish lichenologist Rolf Santesson transferred it to the genus Menegazzia in 1942.
Menegazzia prototypica is a species of lichen found in Australia. It was described as new to science in 1992.
Menegazzia subbullata is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia and southern South America. It was formally described as a species new to science in 1987 by lichenologists Peter James and Gintaras Kantvilas. The type specimen was collected in Tasmania, where it was found in a coniferous heath growing on Mount Mawson pine. It has also been found in mainland Australia. Its first report outside of Australasia was in 2002, when it was recorded in Patagonia, Argentina. The lichen has been found to grow both on bark and on rocks.
Menegazzia subtestacea is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is found in Tasmania (Australia), where it grows at high elevations on the twigs and young branches of alpine shrubs.
