Molecular phylogenetic analyses reveal two new synonyms of Xanthoria parietina

Tsurykau, Andrei ; Bely, Pavel and Arup, Ulf LU (2020) In Plant and Fungal Systematics 65(2). p.620-623
Abstract
Molecular analyses of the recently described Xanthoria polessica collected from
the type locality and of the Australian species X. coomae were used to determine whether these taxa are distinct species or fall within the wide phenotypic variation of the wellknown and cosmopolitan X. parietina. Our results clearly indicate that both taxa should be considered as synonyms of X. parietina since the infraspecific morphological range is accommodated by the observed variation in the thallus and lobe size, their color, position of apothecia, the shape of ascospores, and width of ascospore septum.
