A guide for identifying lichens.
An up-to-date survey of the development, anatomy, physiology and ecology of the lichens. Each chapter and appendix has bibliography.
The 47 species of Parmelina are revised on the world level. Two sections are recognized: section Parmelina with 30 species widely distributed in temperate to tropical montane regions and section Myelochroa with 17 terpene-containing species concentrated in eastern and southern Asia. The genus is most closely related to Parmotrema Massalongo. Five new species, P. crassata Hale, P. degelii Hale, P. indica Hale, P. rhytidodes Hale, and P. schindleri Hale, are described, and six new combinations proposed, P. amagiensis (Asahina) Hale, P. damaziana (Zahlbruckner) Hale, P. endoleuca (Taylor) Hale, P. irrugans (Nylander) Hale, P. jamesii (Hale) Hale, and P. pastillifera (Harmand) Hale. New combinations are also made for Hypotrachyna baguioensis (Hale) Hale and Parmotrema nylanderi (Lynge) Hale.
A revision is made of the lichen family Parmeliaceae in Dominica, based on previous published records by Elliott and on collections by the author. Twenty-two species are now known for Parmelia, the only genus in this family on the island. A new species, Parmelia mordenii, is described from rock habitats in the dry scrub woodland.
