Taxonomy of the lichen families graphidaceae and opegraphaceae in new zealand

Abstract

The Graphidaceae and Opegraphaceae of New Zealand are reviewed. Graphina subvelata, Graphis triticea, Phaeographina arechavaletae, Phaeographis australiensis, and P. exaltata are recorded for the first time from New Zealand. A new combination. Graphina novaezelandia (Knight) G. Hayward, is made. For each of the 22 species, synonymy, typification, description, and citation of specimens examined are given. Nine taxa are considered doubtful or excluded from the New Zealand flora. © 1977 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
