Description

Xanthoparmelia angustiphylla grows to around 5–10 cm in diameter with regular to irregular rosettes that become more irregular over time. The upper surface is yellow-green and the lower surface is black with simple rhizines that are approximately 0.2–0.8 mm long. [1] [2]

Habitat and range

Xanthoparmelia angustiphylla is found mostly in North America, with limited observations in Australia and Europe. [3] [4]

Chemistry

Tuckermannopsis is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae.

<i>Flavoparmelia</i> Genus of fungi

Flavoparmelia is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. Because of their appearance, they are commonly known as greenshield lichens. The widely distributed genus contains 32 species. It was circumscribed by American lichenologist Mason Hale in 1986 to contain 17 former Pseudoparmelia species with broad lobes, usnic acid in the cortex, and isolichenan in the cell walls.

<i>Xanthoparmelia</i> Genus of fungi

Xanthoparmelia is a genus of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Xanthoparmelia is synonymous with Almbornia, Neofuscelia, Chondropsis, Namakwa, Paraparmelia, and Xanthomaculina. This genus of lichen is commonly found in the United States, as well as Australia, New Zealand and Ecuador.

Psiloparmelia is a genus of lichen belonging to the family Parmeliaceae. It contains 13 Southern Hemisphere species, most of which are found growing on rocks at high elevations in South America. There are several characteristic features of the genus that are used to distinguish it from the morphologically similar genera, such as Arctoparmelia, Flavoparmelia, and Xanthoparmelia. These include a dark, velvety lower thallus surface that usually lacks rhizines, a negative test for lichenan, and a high concentration of usnic acid and atranorin in the cortex.
