Peltigera islandica , a new cyanolichen species in section Peltigera (‘ P. canina group’)
Abstract A new cyanolichen, Peltigera islandica sp. nov. in the section Peltigera (‘ P. canina group’) is described from Iceland. This species is similar in general appearance to P. rufescens and P. membranacea , but may be recognized by its downturned lobe tips and narrow lobes, respectively. Most...
