Rinodina chrysidiata, a new species from far eastern Asia and the Appalachian Mountains of North America
Lendemer JC, Sheard JW, Thor G, Tønsberg T. 2012. Rinodina chrysidiata, a new species from far eastern Asia and the Appalachian Mountains of North America. The Lichenologist. 44(2):179-187
A new isidiate, xanthone-producing species, Rinodina chrysidiata, is described and compared in detail with R. xanthophaea, a species with which it co-occurs in eastern Asia. The two species have an identical chemistry but are clearly separated by their differing lichenized diaspores, thallus morphology and ascospore type.
