Thamnolecania yunusii (Ramalinaceae) - A new species of lichenised fungus from Horseshoe Island (Antarctic Peninsula)
The new terricolous lichen species Thamnolecania yunusii Halici, Gullu, Bolukbasi & Kahraman, which is characterised by its cream to greyish brown granulose-crustose thallus without vegetative propagules, is described from Horseshoe Island in the South-West Antarctic Peninsula region. All Thamno...
