(2004), McCune (2017), and recently also by Davydov et al. (2021 a, b). McCune (2017) specifically accepts it to be synonymous with L. pringlei, which is substantiated by Tuckerman (1883), who also indicated a close affinity between the two species. Ryan et al. (2004) proposed L. brandegeei as a subspecies of L. pringlei, whereas Davydov et al. (2021 a, b) suggested a new combination, bringing the taxon to the species level again. The two species morphologically differ from each other in their thallus morphology. The thallus of L. pringlei is quite stalked and pseudopodetioid in nature, having cushion-like habits, whereas the thallus of L. brandegeei is squamulose with slightly swollen squamules. A broader morphological concept of the genus Pulvinora by inclusion of P. cavicola and P. subcavicola also allows L. brandegeei to be a member of the genus. Moreover, the chemistry of the latter species shows similarity to P. pringlei, as it produces atranorin, alectorialic and psoromic acids. Therefore, even with no molecular support, the inclusion of L. brandegeei appeared fully reasonable.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/5F6FBF6CD0275FD1818FE933B3056A33	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(2004). The authors have consistently stated that it occupies an isolated position within Lecanora, which was finally confirmed in this study by demonstrating L. cavicola placement in the recently established genus Pulvinora . The species was described from Norway at the end of the previous century (Creveld 1981) and subsequently reported from various countries in Europe and from other continents. The species appears to be unique among crustose lecanoroid lichens, and its identity can be easily recognized by the pinkish soralia (reflecting alectorialic acid content) in stored herbarium material. The known variation of the species’ secondary chemistry and its geographical range was discussed by Śliwa et al. (2012) while reporting it for the first time from South America, where it was discovered in a few Bolivian provinces. The species produces atranorin and alectorialic acid and, according to the original description, also thamnolic acid (Creveld 1981). However, chemotypes lacking thamnolic acid are commonly reported, and on the other hand, protocetraric acid complex was recorded in addition to atranorin and alectorialic acid (Śliwa et al. 2012). Pulvinora cavicola occurs on hard siliceous rocks in alpine areas. Although it is widespread, it is a rare species (Ryan et al. 2004).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/54729FC3A79259AAB7953A82255ACD26	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Basionym.</p><p>Notes.</p><p>A detailed description of the species (under the name L. subcavicola) is provided by Ryan et al. (2004). In morphology and secondary metabolite content (atranorin and alectorialic acid present), it closely resembles P. cavicola, except that P. subcavicola does not produce vegetative propagules. There is no obvious molecular distinction between the two species on our phylogenetic tree, and more extended sampling in the future will perhaps resolve this issue. However, we were able to indicate differences between P. cavicola and P. subcavicola, based on the published data – such as the color of the epihymenium: olive-brown ( P. cavicola) vs. brown-black ( P. subcavicola); lack ( P. cavicola) vs. presence ( P. subcavicola) of fine granules in the epihymenium; and differing chemistry, which is more diverse in the case of P. cavicola . A thorough discussion of the latter species’ similarities, differences, and correlations with P. brandegeei is available in Ryan et al. (2004) and Davydov et al.
