Abstract
New localities of <em>Rinodina degeliana</em> in Poland are described. The morphology, chemistry, distribution and ecology of the species are discussed and characters that help to differentiate <em>R. degaliana</em> from similar lichens are presented. The species is relatively frequent in lime-hornbeam forests of northern and central Poland.
Highlights
The genus Rinodina (Ach.) Gray was represented by 33 species, including 12 epiphytic species, in Poland (Fałtynowicz 2003)
Further localities of the species were recorded in two forest reserves in Central Poland
The aim of this study is to describe R. degeliana and to indicate the most important diagnostic characters helpful in its identification during field studies and in the analysis of the herbarium material
Summary
The genus Rinodina (Ach.) Gray was represented by 33 species, including 12 epiphytic species, in Poland (Fałtynowicz 2003). R. griseosoralifera Coppins and R. degeliana Coppins, were reported by Czarnota and Kukwa (2007) and by Kukwa & Kubiak (2007), respectively. D. Kubiak were recorded during extensive lichenological studies in lime-hornbeam forests in the Masurian Lakeland, N Poland (Fig. 1). Further localities of the species were recorded in two forest reserves in Central Poland. The species seems to be relatively frequent in northern and Central Poland, especially in well preserved lime-hornbeam forests, and may be frequent in other parts of Poland. R. degeliana may be overlooked or not distinguished because of its fine, inconspicuous sterile thalli
