Other information
Flavoparmelia, in the family Parmeliaceae (Eriksson 2004; Pennycook & Galloway 2004), was proposed by Hale (1985) to accommodate 17 taxa, formerly in the genus Pseudoparmelia and containing usnic acid in the upper cortex. Species of Flavoparmelia have a black lower surface with simple rhizines, a distinct, naked marginal zone and have larger ascospores than other segregates of Pseudoparmelia s. lat. The bifusiform conidia and broadly rounded lobes distinguish Flavoparmelia from Relicinopsis. Thirty-two species are known worldwide, of which three occur in New Zealand, all found on rock, bark, dead wood and old fenceposts, farm gates and railings.
