| Summary: | Peltigera serusiauxii is proposed here as a new species from Papua New Guinea
and Sabah, northern Borneo (Malaysia). The species belongs to the polydactyloid clade of
section Polydactylon . Because of its large thalli with a glabrous upper surface, this species
was previously identified as P. dolichorhiza , but it differs by its polydactylon-type lower
surface and the high amount of dolichorrhizin. It appears to be a strict specialist in its
association with Nostoc phylogroup IX throughout its known distribution. This is one of
many undescribed species remaining to be formally described within the genus Peltigera ,
especially in Asia and Australasia. |
