Abstract
Abstract. The new species Roccella ramitumidula is described from a tropical dry forest in the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The new species is characterized by fertile thalli, saxicolous habit, irregularly swollen branches and erythrin and lecanoric acid as lichen products. It differs from R. decipiens by its narrower and longer ascospores, irregularly swollen branches, uneven surface, and smaller branches. Sequences of the genetic markers ITS, nuLSU and RPB2 from the new species were added to a phylogenetic tree based on four genetic markers that included all the Roccella species known for the Americas. The biogeography and ecology of the species is discussed. We reported R. gracilis for the first time for the state of Jalisco, Mexico.
期刊介绍：
The Bryologist is an international journal devoted to all aspects of bryology and lichenology, and we welcome reviews, research papers and short communications from all members of American Bryological and Lichenological Society (ABLS). We also publish lists of current literature, book reviews and news items about members and event. All back issues of the journal are maintained electronically. The first issue of The Bryologist was published in 1898, with the formation of the Society.
Author instructions are available from the journal website and the manuscript submission site, each of which is listed at the ABLS.org website.
All submissions to the journal are subject to at least two peer reviews, and both the reviews and the identities of reviewers are treated confidentially. Reviewers are asked to acknowledge possible conflicts of interest and to provide strictly objective assessments of the suitability and scholarly merit of the submissions under review.
