This is the LIAS Glossary

In order to describe and identify lichens and ascomycetes, the LIAS project uses a wide range of descriptive terms. This glossary aims to provide definitions for the terms used in the character and character state definitions of LIAS. It is still undergoing development and we ask all interested researchers to excuse incompleteness and errors. Any criticism and/or collaboration is highly appreciated! See About for further information about the project.

  • Use the search box in the left margin.
  • Use the alphabetical page index (grouped in page ranges, click on a range to see all pages inside).
  • Browse the content by selected categories, see all categories or Top level categories. Please note that categorization is currently incomplete!

How to contribute

  • After requesting a user account, you are welcome to make corrections or point out errors. Please do rewrite a definition if you consider this necessary.
