Verticillate Cladonia species (Lichenized Ascomycota) from high-altitude environments of Serra do Mar in Southern Brazil

Abstract

-(Verticillate Cladonia species (Lichenized Ascomycota) from high-altitude environments of Serra do Mar in Southern Brazil). In a survey of the species of Cladonia occurring in high-altitude environments of Serra do Mar in Southern Brazil, eight species with verticillate podetia were found. Cladonia clathrata and C. imperialis are new records for the Southern Brazil; C. flagellaris, C. penicillata, and C. verticillaris are new for the State of Santa Catarina; C. calycanthoides and C. rappii are new for the State of Paraná. Detailed descriptions, an identification key, illustrations, and taxonomical remarks are provided.

Espécies de Cladonia com cifas não verticiladas do supergrupo Cladonia em ambientes de altitude da Serra do Mar no Sul do Brasil

“…Os dados geográficos e climáticos são descritos em Charnei & Eliasaro (2013b). Após secos em temperatura ambiente ou em estufa a baixa temperatura, os materiais foram herborizados e incorporados ao Herbário UPCB da Universidade Federal do Paraná.…”

Three new species of Cladonia (Cladoniaceae, Ascomycota) from Southern Brazil

“…Even though the Cladonia P. Browne species are very abundant and diverse in environments above 900 m in the Serra do Mar in South Brazil, they are still poorly studied. The only references were made by Ahti (2000) and Charnei and Eliasaro (2013). During a survey on Cladoniaceae in this area, where 858 specimens were analyzed we discovered three new species of this genus.…”
