Placolecis
Genus of lichens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Placolecis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Catillariaceae.[2] It has four species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) and crustose lichens. The genus was circumscribed by Italian botanist Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon in 1857.[3] He did not assign a type species for the genus. Josef Hafellner designated a lectotype for Placolecis balanina in 1984,[4] but subsequently, this taxon was folded into P. opaca.[5]
