Nipponoparmelia

Nipponoparmelia is a genus of five species of lichen belonging to the family Parmeliaceae. Nipponoparmelia was originally conceived by Syo Kurokawa as a subgenus of the genus Parmelia in 1994.[1] It was raised to generic status in 2010.[2] Four east Asian species were originally placed in the genus; Nipponoparmelia perplicata, found in South Korea and Russia, was added in 2014.[3]

Description

Nipponoparmelia differs morphologically from Parmelia by having very small (punctiform) pseudocyphellae on the margins of the lobes and lobules. Similar to the genera Punctelia and Flavopunctelia, the pseudocyphellae lack a persistent epicortex roof and do not form angular or linear pore aggregates; unlike these two genera, however, in Nipponoparmelia the pseudocyphellae are not present on the lamina.[3]

  • Nipponoparmelia laevior (Nyl.) K.H.Moon, Y.Ohmura & Kashiw. (2010)
  • Nipponoparmelia perplicata S.Y.Kondr., Tschab., Elix & Hur (2014)
  • Nipponoparmelia pseudolaevior (Asahina) K.H.Moon, Y.Ohmura & Kashiw. (2010)
  • Nipponoparmelia ricasolioides (Nyl.) A.Crespo & Divakar (2010)
