DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.698.2.1
Abstract: Heterodermia Trevis. is a morphologically and taxonomically diverse genus of lichenized fungi with numerous centers of diversity worldwide. It is traditionally distinguished from other Physciaceae by a prosoplectenchymatous upper cortex and thick-walled spores; however, recent… read more here.
