Toninia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ramalinaceae. [2]

Taxonomy

The genus was circumscribed by the Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1852, with Toninia cinereovirens assigned as the type species. In his original Latin description, Massalongo established the new genus to accommodate lichens with distinctive characteristics that set them apart from related groups. He described Toninia as having solid, flattened fruiting bodies with a distinctive rim around the edge, and a disc that opens from an initially narrow opening to become wider and more exposed. The thallus (lichen body) was noted to be crusty and scaly, often growing in overlapping patches or forming distinct lobes . Massalongo distinguished his new genus from similar groups like Lecidea and Baeomyces , noting that while Toninia species might resemble some members of these genera, they have unique structural features that warranted separate classification. [3] The genus name honours Carlo Tonini (1920–1982), whom Massalongo described as a celebrated chemist and distinguished cultivator of lichenology. [4]
