Gondwania is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the subfamily Xanthorioideae of the family Teloschistaceae.[2][3] It has five species.
Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed by lichenologists Ulrik Søchting, Patrik Frödén, and Ulf Arup. The type species is G. cribrosa, a species that was first named Polycauliona cribrosa by Auguste-Marie Hue in 1909. The genus name refers to the ancestral supercontinent Gondwana.[4]
Description
Gondwania species grow on rock, and have a variety of forms: lobate, somewhat fruticose, or crustose.[5] Species contain lichen products characteristic of chemosyndrome A. Cerothallis and Austroplaca are closely related genera in the Teloschistaceae. Gondwania has a Southern Hemisphere distribution, occurring in the Antarctic, southern Australia, New Zealand, and Patagonia.[4]
Species
- Gondwania cribrosa (Hue) Søchting, Frödén & Arup (2013) – Tasmania; New Zealand
- Gondwania inclinans (Stirton) Søchting (2023)[6] – New Zealand
- Gondwania joannae (Hue) Søchting, Sancho & Arup (2023)[6] – Antarctica
- Gondwania sejongensis S.Y.Kondr. & Hur (2014)[7]

The proposed taxon Gondwania regalis (Vain.) Søchting, Frödén & Arup (2013) has since been transferred to a different genus and is now known as Polycauliona regalis.[8]
