Popis: | Melaspilea circumserpens Nyl., hitherto known only from the type specimen, collected in Tasmania in 1803 by Robert Brown, has been rediscovered. The species has proved to belong to the genus Glonium (Hysteriaceac), previously not known to contain species associated with algae. The new combination Glonium circumserpens (Nyl.) Kantvilas & Coppins is proposed. The anatomy, morphology and ecology of the species are described. Problems regarding the provenance of several lichen specimens collected by Robert Brown are discussed. |
