Lichina Explained

Lichina is a genus of lichens in the family Lichinaceae. The genus contains seven species.[1] These cyanolichens include maritime species such as L. pygmaea or L. confinis, in which the associated cyanobiont has been assigned to the genus Rivularia. Furthermore, evidence of a high specificity of each mycobiont towards particular cyanobiont lineages in both species has been detected.
