Peltigera wulingensis is a species of terricolous (ground-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Originally described from specimens found in northern China, it has since been recorded in Canada, Norway, and Russia.
Taxonomy
The lichen was
temperate zone locale is foggy and cloudy all year. The species epithet refers to the type locality.[1]
Description
The
pycnidia are rare. The lichen products detected in this species were two unidentified triterpenes.[1]
Another Chinese species, Peltigera shennongjiana, is somewhat similar in appearance. It can be distinguished from P. wulingensis by the lack of scabrosity in its upper surface, the presence of pruina on the thallus, and its long and bushy rhizines.[2]
Habitat and distribution
Originally described from specimens found in northern China, Peltigera wulingensis has since been recorded in Canada (Ontario and Quebec),[3] three locations in Norway,[4][5] and the Krasnoyarsk Krai region of Russia.[3]
