Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a revised and updated Catalogue of British Lichens, a type of fungus distinguished by its symbiotic relationship with algae. Since the publication of the first Catalogue in 1894, a number of advances have taken place in our understanding of lichens. The author has used these advances to organize the Catalogue according to the latest and most accurate taxonomic knowledge. The Catalogue contains descriptions of half of the known British species, including 700 species of Collema, Lepraria, Stereocaulon, and Parmelia. These descriptions cover all aspects of each species, including its apothecia, spores, and spermogones. The Catalogue will be of great use to both lichenologists and ecologists interested in the distribution and identification of British lichens and will help to facilitate the study of these fascinating organisms.
