Genus of lichens
Kashiwadia genus of lichen -forming fungi in the family Physciaceae .[ 1] circumscribed in Sergey Kondratyuk , László Lőkös, and Jae-Seoun Hur in 2014 to contain the species Physcia orientalis , after molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the taxon occupied an isolated phylogenetic position in the Physciaceae.[ 2] [ 3] described the type species .[ 2]
Kashiwadia species are foliose (leafy) and whitish-grey, with lobes measuring 1–2.5 mm wide. The upper surface of the thallus is smooth, convex, and lacks pruina , while the lower surface is pale to brownish. Apothecia are rare; when present, they are cup-shaped with a diameter of 1–2 mm and a brown, pruinose disc. Both atranorin and zeorin are lichen products found in the genus.[ 2]
