The lichen genus Pertusaria in Poland I. P. multipuncta and P. ophthalmiza

Magdalena Oset, Martin Kukwa

Abstract


The paper presents results of study on two morphologically very similar lichens in Poland, P. multipuncta (Turner) Nyl. and P. ophthalmiza (Nyl.) Nyl. (Pertusariales, Ascomycota). Previously, specimens were determined using only thallus characters and spot test reaction, with no data on lichen substances. This led to several misidentifications. After the revision of all available material of P. multipuncta from Poland it appeared to be reported correctly only from one locality in Gorce Mts. Most of other specimens belong to P. ophthalmiza, which has not been recorded in Polish lichenological literature until 2008.
