Lecanorales

Lecanoraceae

This family was established by Körber (1855), a widely distributed family with species found commonly on rocks, soil or bark (Kalb et al. 2011). Species are characterised by apothecial ascomata, sparingly branched paraphyses, semifissitunicate cylindrical to clavate asci and ellipsoid, subglobose or bacilliform, hyaline ascospores (Kalb et al. 2011).
