Norrlinia
Genus of fungi of the family Verrucariaceae / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norrlinia is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Verrucariaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by Ferdinand Theissen and Hans Sydow in 1918.[2] The genus name honours the Finnish botanist Johan Petter Norrlin.[3] Both species are lichenicolous, meaning they parasitise lichens. The host of both fungi is the foliose genus Peltigera.[4]
