Platismatia wheeleri is a species of lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in western North America, it was first described in 2011. [1]
Krogia is a genus of corticolous lichens in the family Ramalinaceae. It occurs in tropical humid forests and rainforests. The genus was circumscribed by Norwegian lichenologist Einar Timdal in 2002, with Krogia coralloides assigned as the type species.
Clypeopyrenis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Pyrenulaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1991 by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot, with Clypeopyrenis microsperma assigned as the type species. This lichen, originally described from material collected in Costa Rica, is also found in the Caribbean and South America. Clypeopyrenis porinoides was added to the genus in 2011; it was discovered in Costa Rica, close to the type locality of the type species.
Harpidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Harpidiaceae. The genus contains three species. Harpidium was circumscribed in 1855 by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber, with Harpidium rutilans assigned as the type species.
Echinoplaca is a genus of lichens in the family Gomphillaceae.
Acarospora janae is a species of lichen in the Acarosporaceae family. Described as new to science in 2011, it is known only from New Mexico and Colorado in the United States, where it grows on siliceous rock.
André Aptroot is a Dutch mycologist and lichenologist.
Amandinea maritima is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Caliciaceae. Found in Europe, it was described as new to science in 2011.
Xanthomendoza rosmarieae is a species of lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. Known only from the type locality in Sussex County, Delaware, it was described as new to science in 2011. It is named after the Swiss lichenologist Rosmarie Honegger.
Fellhanera borbonica is a species of lichen in the family Pilocarpaceae. It was described as new to science in 2011. Found in Réunion, the specific epithet borbonica denotes the original name for Réunion, or Île Bourbon.
Fulgogasparrea decipioides is a species of lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It is found in Gangwon Province, South Korea. This species was originally described in 2011by Ulf Arup as a member of the large genus Caloplaca. The specific epithet decipioides refers to its similarity with Caloplaca decipiens. Arup and colleagues transferred it to genus Wetmoreana in 2013, before it was again transferred to Fulgogasparrea that same year, a genus in which it is the type species.
Ramalina stoffersii is a species of lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. Known from the Lesser Antillean islands of Saba and St. Maarten/St. Martin and from Puerto Rico, it was described as new to science in 2011.
Rhizocarpon diploschistinum is a species of crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. Known from Colombia, it was described as new to science in 2011 by American lichenologist Bruce McCune.
Lempholemma corticola is a species of lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Known from Greece, it was described as new to science in 2011.
Chiodecton pustuliferum is a species of lichen in the family Roccellaceae. Found in Madagascar, it was described as new to science in 2011.
Acarospora flavisparsa is a species of lichen in the family Acarosporaceae. Found in Portugal and Spain, it was described as new to science in 2011. The lichen grows on acidic rock walls in inland areas.
Helge Thorsten Lumbsch is a German-born lichenologist living in the United States. His research interests include the phylogeny, taxonomy, and phylogeography of lichen-forming fungi; lichen diversity; lichen chemistry and chemotaxonomy. He is the Associate Curator and Head of Cryptogams and Chair of the Department of Botany at the Field Museum of Natural History.
Buellia sulphurica is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Caliciaceae. Found in the Galápagos Islands, it was described as new to science in 2011 by Frank Bungartz and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected on the northern exposed inner caldera rim of the Alcedo Volcano on Isabela Island at an altitude of 1,055 m (3,461 ft). Here, near the sulphur vents, it was found growing on basalt rock; nearby vegetation included Adianthus concinnum and Tournefortia rufosericea. It has additionally been recorded on the Chico volcano, also on Isabela Island. The specific epithet sulphurica alludes to both the bright yellow colour of the thallus, and the proximity of the lichen to sulphur vents. Buellia sulphurica contains rhizocarpic acid, a secondary compound that is rare in genus Buellia.
Ocellularia albobullata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Costa Rica, it was described as new to science in 2011 by lichenologists Robert Lücking, Harrie Sipman, and Martin Grube. The type specimen was collected by Grube in Corcovado National Park at sea level. The lichen is known to occur in several locations in the coastal rainforest of southern Costa Rica. The specific epithet albobullata refers to the colour and form of the thallus, which is both white (albo-) and bullate. Ocellularia albobullata contains several secondary chemicals, including psoromic acid, subpsoromic acid, and 2'-O-demethylpsoromic acid.
Verrucaria rhizicola is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), aquatic, crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. Found in France, it was formally described as a new species in 2011 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Holger Thüs. The type specimen was collected by the first author from the Forêt de Boulogne (Pas-de-Calais). There, the lichen was growing on the roots of common alder. It is only known from the type collection. The species epithet rhizicola refers to its growth on roots. The roots holding the lichen are located along a stream in a temperate forest, and as such, the lichen is regularly immersed in fresh water. Verrucaria rhizicola is one of about 20 corticolous species in genus Verrucaria. In addition to its uncommon habitat, other unique characteristics of this species are the prominent, minute, shiny ascomata that have a distinctive dimidiate involucrellum, and the asymmetrically kidney-shaped ascospores.
Krogia microphylla is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), squamulose (scaley) lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. Found in the Dominican Republic, it was formally described as a new species in 2011 by lichenologist Einar Timdal. The type specimen was collected from a cloud forest in El Seibo Province at an altitude of about 450 m (1,480 ft). It is only known from the type collection. The species epithet refers to the tiny squamules that make up the thallus.
