Abstract

The systematic position of the family Candelariaceae is re-evaluated using anatomical and molecular data. The anatomy of the ascomata and their ontogeny was studied and was found to be uniform within the family and fitting well into the scheme observed in the genus Lecanora. rDNA ITS genes were sequenced from two species of the Candelariaceae and analysed by maximum parsimony together with 11 Lecanora sequences, one Protoparmelia sequence, and two sequences from the Parmeliaceae. A strict consensus of seven most-parsimonious trees shows that the two species of Candelariaceae form a monophyletic group nested within the Lecanoraceae. Based on anatomical and molecular evidence, the Candelariaceae is proposed to belong within the Lecanoraceae, and should not be regarded as a separate family.
