Lecanora caledonica - a new species in the Lecanora intumescens group (Lecanoraceae) from north-western Europe

Arup, Ulf LU ; Holien, Håkon and Coppins, Brian J. (2023) In Lichenologist 55(3-4). p.107-114
Abstract

Lecanora caledonica is described as new to science. Molecular analyses show that it belongs to the L. intumescens group. It is also rather similar in appearance to L. intumescens, but differs mainly chemically in containing only atranorin and an unknown UV+ ice blue substance. There are also anatomical and morphological differences to the other species of the group. The new species has a pronounced oceanic distribution and is so far known only from western Norway and Scotland.
