“…We are informed of a population of C. subturgida extant in the northwest of Algeria (Boudial et al unpublished). There probably are still more populations in Algeria and Tunisia, very scarcely sampled regions whose lichen flora is poorly known (Seaward 1996;Amrani et al 2018;Monia et al 2018). Even in the south of England some populations of C. subturgida can be expected in habitats where C. firma and C. cervicornis have been reported.…”

Cladonia subturgida is a Mediterranean species that has been overlooked. Apparently it was restricted to the Iberian Peninsula and Canary Islands. However, during the study of the genus Cladonia in the Mediterranean region, new populations from 44 localities were found in: south France, Sardinia, south Italian peninsula, Crete and continental Greece. Distribution models based on MaxEnt, GLM, GAM and MARS algorithms were used to estimate the potential distribution of C. subturgida. Sicily, Corsica and the north of Africa were regions with suitable climatic conditions for C. subturgida where it has not been reported yet. The climatic variables with greatest relative influence in the C. subturgida distribution were the Precipitation of Warmest Quarter and the Annual Precipitation. Additionally, the ITS rDNA region was used to study the genetic variation of this species across its distribution area. Eleven haplotypes were found, one of them widely distributed through its geographical range. AMOVA analyses indicated lack of geographical structure.

“…Lichenology is one of the least known branches of botanical sciences compared to other fields of botany in Algeria (Bendaikha, 2018). The study of lichens in Algeria began more than a century ago (Ait hammou 2011, Hamralaine 2019), with a current list of 1050 taxa (Amrani, 2018). It should be pointed out that lichen diversity worldwide amounts to 20,000 species (Yannick, 2021), and research is uninterrupted because of the great importance of this biota in ecological, pharmacological, industrial and biotechnological fields (Chermat 2019).…”

The objective of this work is the inventory of lichens in the Hafir forest, it is part of a more general project aimed at studying the lichen flora of the Tlemcen region. The Hafir forest is one of the last Algerian mountainous cork oak forests belonging to the Bético Rifain complex. Our study area enjoys a Mediterranean climate, subhumid with cool winters. Based mainly on random sampling, giving particular importance to the different types of substrate, we were able to sample 73 species of lichens belonging to 16 families and 38 genera. Among these, the Parmeliaceae family is the most dominant with 19 species followed by the Lecanoraceae family which is represented by 14 species and the Physciaceae by 13 species. The physiognomic spectrum shows the presence of 06 lichen categories: foliaceous lichens, crustaceans, fruticose, gelatinous, scaly and leprous. While the classification by type of substrate shows the dominance of corticolous lichens with 48 species followed by saxicolous with 13 species, terricolous with 06 in number and lignicoles and muscicoles with 03 species each. We were able to identify 18 species protected by Algerian law among inventoried lichens. The Hafir forest is home to a very interesting lichen diversity that deserves to be protected, which requires immediate intervention to reduce the anthropogenic pressure exerted and which can pollute this natural environment.

“…The genus Placolecis is mainly distributed in the Mediterranean region, and has been infrequently reported from Algeria, Russia, South Korea, and India, and so forth [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Species of this genus frequently occur on limestone in open and sunny habitats [9].…”

Two New Species of Placolecis (Lichenized Ascomycota) from China

Two new species of the lichen genus Placolecis are discovered in China, namely P. kunmingensis An. C. Yin & Li S. Wang and P. sublaevis An. C. Yin & Li S. Wang. The new combination P. loekoesiana (S.Y. Kondr., Farkas, J.J. Woo & Hur) An. C. Yin is proposed. Placolecis kunmingensis is characterized by having simple, spherical or ellipsoid, hyaline spores, and pear-shaped pycnidia; while P. sublaevis can be distinguished by its thallus forming larger aggregations with slightly flattened lobes at the thallus margin, and urn-shaped pycnidia. Descriptions, a phylogenetic tree and a key are provided for all the known Placolecis species in China.
