I. Martinez et Ar. Burgaz, REVISION OF THE GENUS SOLORINA (LICHENES) IN EUROPE BASED ON SPORE SIZE VARIATION, Annales botanici Fennici, 35(2), 1998, pp. 137-142
The variation of the spore size and wall ornamentation in the European
species of the Lichen genus Solorina Ach. was studied. Sixty one samp

a Gyeln. is a distinct species and S bispora Nyl. consists of ssp. bis
pora and ssp. macrospora (Harm.) Burgaz & Martinet comb, nov.
