Genus of fungi
Flavopunctelia is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae .[ 2] The genus contains species that are widespread in temperate and tropical areas.[ 3] The genus is characterised by broad, yellow-green lobes, point-like (punctiform ) pseudocyphellae on the thallus surface, and bifusiform conidia (i.e., threadlike with a swelling at both ends). All species contain usnic acid as a major secondary chemical in the cortex . Flavopunctelia was originally conceived as a subgenus of Punctelia by Hildur Krog in 1982;[ 4] Mason Hale promoted it to generic status in 1984.[ 5]
