Lecanactis ( Roccellaceae ) in Tasmania, with the description of a new saxicolous species and a revised key for the genus in Australia
Abstract The lichen genus Lecanactis Körb. in Tasmania comprises six species: L. abietina (Ach.) Körb., which is widespread and pan-temperate; L. latispora Egea & Torrente and L. neozelandica Egea & Torrente, both shared with New Zealand and with the former recorded here from the Auckland Is...
