Taxonomic notes
Santesson (1952: p 454) did not locate any original material of Stirton’s Lecanora subundulata (none either in E or BM) and instead selected a neotype from material collected by H.H. Allan from leaves on Lastreopsis hispida on Colonial Knob near Wellington. A recent discovery of original Buchanan material in the herbarium of Otago University (OTA), duplicates of which were sent to James Stirton, allows the Buchanan material (now in WELT) to serve as lectotype.
