... In terms of geographical range, Punctelia is a cosmopolitan genus consisting of c. 45 species, with its highest species diversity in South America and Africa (Crespo et al. 2010, Canêz & Marcelli 2010, Thell et al. 2012. Most of taxa occur in subtropical and temperate regions, mainly as epiphytes. ...
Article
A study of the genus Punctelia in Poland revealed that only two species, P. jeckeri and P. subrudecta, occur there. Both species have been more commonly found in the southern Poland than in other parts of the country, and are almost absent in the west. Most records of both taxa originate from the 1980s and 1990s. This is most likely the result of intensification of lichenological inventories in this period, but the impact of climate changes on the species frequency cannot be excluded. P. subrudecta is threatened in the country and treated as vulnerable in the red list of lichens in Poland and the same status is proposed for P. jeckeri for the next edition of the red list. The distribution of both species, their morphology, secondary chemistry and habitat requirements, are discussed. Notes on similar taxa are presented.

Epiphytes are hyper‐diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non‐vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer‐reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non‐vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non‐vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest. No copyright restrictions are associated with the data set. Please cite this Ecology Data Paper if the data are used in publication and teaching events.

Chapter
The number of lichen substances with known structure is about 700. It is the aim of this book to help the lichenologist and the natural product chemist in the identification of this large group of plant metabolites. It comprises methods for the isolation and identification of lichen substances by physical and spectroscopic methods, microcrystallization, thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, gas liquid chromatography and derivatization. The main part contains the formulae, molecular weights and data about the melting points, colour reactions, UV, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectra, derivatives, TLC RF-values, microcrystallization, HPLC and the standard lichen (which contains the corresponding compound) with references of all lichen substances described in the literature up to 1995. Tables of molecular weights, melting points and reactions of lichen substances are further auxiliaries. Finally, a key for the identification of lichen substances is presented.
Article
A procedure for the routine identification of the products of lichen-forming fungi by thin-layer chromatography is described. Microextracts of plant fragments are chromatographed in three solvent systems. The spots of unknowns are assigned to RF classes defined by the RF values of marker controls of two lichen substances (atranorin and norstictic acid) chromatographed on every plate. The unknowns are tenatively identified by sorting (by RF classes) punched cards summarizing microchemical data for all compounds previously studied. The preliminary identification is then confirmed by additional microchemical tests. The open-ended system can incorporate new and unknown compounds as well as information from other chromatographic systems. Data obtained by the standardized procedure are given for 104 products.

The genus Punctelia Krog gen. nov., comprising subgen. Punctelia (the Parmelia borreri group) and subgen. Flavopunctelia Krog subgen. nov. (the Parmelia flaventior group), is here segregated from Parmelia s. str. The main differences between the two genera lie in the development of the pseudocyphellae, the chemical properties of the medulla, and the centres of distribution. Parmelia s. str. has its highest number of species in East Asia and the Australian region, Punctelia in the Americas and Africa.
