Biology:Lethariella
Lethariella is a genus of fruticose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. The genus was originally proposed as a subgenus of Usnea by Polish lichenologist Józef Motyka in his 1936 monograph of that genus.[1] Norwegian botanist Hildur Krog elevated the taxon to generic status in 1976.[2]
Three species of Lethariella are used by ethnic peoples of Yunnan Province (China) as a component of purported health-promoting tea: Lethariella cashmeriana, L. sernanderi, and L. sinensis.[3] Species of Lethariella found in the Himalayas are also used as a component of Tibetan incense because of their fragrance, and are sold commercially in China.[4]

- Lethariella canariensis (Ach.) Krog (1976)
- Lethariella cashmeriana Krog (1976)
- Lethariella cladonioides (Nyl.) Krog (1976)
- Lethariella flexuosa (Nyl.) J.C.Wei (1982)
- Lethariella intricata (Moris) Krog (1976)
- Lethariella sernanderi (Motyka) Obermayer (1995)
