Anzia is a genus of lichenised ascomycetes in the large family Parmeliaceae. It was formerly included in the monogeneric family Anziaceae, but this has since been subsumed into the Parmeliaceae.[2]

Description

Members of Anzia have a foliose growth form, with a thallus that can anywhere from 2–30 cm (0.8–11.8 in) wide. It is one of the only groups in the family not to have 8 spores in each ascus, but instead has numerous spores in each ascus (varying slightly from ascus to ascus).

Distribution

The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, but is concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in Japan.[3]

Evolutionary history

A fossilized Anzia, Anzia electra, was found in 35–40 Myr-old Baltic amber. Its features suggest that the main distinguishing characteristics in the thallus morphology of section Anzia have been retained for tens of millions of years.[4]
