Abstract

Thirteen isidiate taxa in the Teloschistales are briefly discussed, i.e. Letrouitia corallina (Müll. Arg.) Hafellner, L. leprolyta (Nyl.) Hafellner, Caloplaca bassiae (Ach.) Zahlbr., C. granulosa (Müll. Arg.) Jatta, C. herbidella (Hue) H. Magn., C. isidiigera Vězda, C. isidiosa (Vainio) Zahlbr., C. littorea Tavares, C. namibensis Kärnef., C. ochraceofulva (Müll. Arg.) Jatta, C. verruculifera (Vainio) Zahlbr., Xanthoria domogledensis Veˇzda and X. isidioidea (Beltr.) Szat. The presumed origins and affinities of these taxa, which are also often fertile, are discussed. The role of isidia in reproduction and dispersal, and the justification of specific status in some of these taxa is questioned.
