AbstractLecanorais one of the largest genera of lichens worldwide. These lichens can be easily seen, and are commonly found on trees and rocks. Most Korean Lecanoraspecies belong to the Lecanora subfuscagroup, which has well-defined superficial thallus, red–brown apothecia, and soredia. The new species of L. neobarkmanianagrows on rocks, farinose soredia coalescing, usually covering the whole thallus, and containing atranorin and zeorin. We used internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU) sequence data to identify the phylogenetic relationship across Lecanorasequence data and found the species to form different clades. In this study, we reported some interesting findings and described the genetic relationship with other sorediate Lecanoraspecies and the characteristics of the new species. An identification key for the Korean sorediate Lecanoraspecies is given. |
