Cornicularia Explained

Cornicularia is a genus of lichenised ascomycetes in the large family Parmeliaceae. It is a monotypic genus, with a single currently accepted species, the saxicolous lichen Cornicularia normoerica.[1] This species has an erect caespitose growth form, and is sometimes referred to as the brittle lichen.

Taxonomy

Cornicularia was originally proposed as a section of the genus Lichen by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1791. Erik Acharius promoted it to generic status in 1803.
