Biology:Phyllisciella
Phyllisciella is a fungal genus in the family Phylliscaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing only the species Phyllisciella marionensis.[1] Both the genus and its single species were described as new to science by the German lichenologist Aino Henssen.[2]
Taxonomy
A class-wide multilocus study published in 2024 reassessed relationships across the Lichinomycetes and provided an updated family- and genus-level framework. In that scheme Phyllisciella is treated within Phylliscaceae; the authors note that the Phylliscum–Phyllisciella grouping is one of the places where generic boundaries remain weakly resolved, so further sampling is needed before limits are finalised.[3] In their ancestral-state analyses they also coded a distinct "Phyllisciella-type" ascus as one of the ascus character states used to interpret evolution within the class.[3]
