Vahliella hookerioides
Species of lichen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vahliella hookerioides is a species of squamulose lichen in the family Vahliellaceae.[2] It was first formally described in 2000 by the Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen, who classified it as a member of Fuscopannaria. The type specimen was collected from Endovalley in Colorado, US. It is similar in morphology to V. leucophaea but has blackich apothecia, a more robust thalline margin, and smaller, more rounded spores.[3] Jørgensen transferred the taxon to the new genus Vahliella in 2008.[4]
