V. & Fačkovcová, Z. 2020. Lichens recorded in chasmophytic communities associated with relict and endemic plant species in Bulgaria. – Herzogia 33: 407– 419. The mid-altitudes of Bulgaria comprise a wide range of sparsely vegetated ecosystems, including rock cliffs and outcrops. They host chasmophytic communities supporting different range-restricted or rare plants. Sampling vegetation relevés, we recorded the present lichen biota. Here we report on the occurrence of 143 lichen species. Out of them, we shortly comment on noteworthy species, specifically those which have not been reported from Bulgaria so far – Acarospora moenium, A. oligospora, Agonimia globulifera, A. opuntiella, Anema tumidulum, Fuscopannaria mediterranea, Lempholemma chalazanum, Leptogium brebissonii agg., Lichinella cribellifera, Psora vallesiaca, Pyrenopsis grumulifera, Scytinium aragonii, S. schraderi, Thelopsis lojkana, and Thalloidima tauricum.

New records of species of the lichen genus Solenopsora A.Massal. in the Balkan Peninsula and adjacent islands. – Herzogia 32: 101–110. We report new records of Solenopsora candicans, S. cesatii, S. grisea, S. marina, S. olivacea subsp. olbiensis and S. olivacea subsp. olivacea from calcareous rocks, and S. liparina from ultramafic rocks in the Balkan Peninsula and adjacent islands. Their distribution, ecology and key morphological features are discussed. The taxa S. candicans, S. cesatii, S. liparina, S. marina and S. olivacea subsp. olbiensis are reported for the first time from Albania, and S. cesatii from Bulgaria.

Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify biological diversity) with nomenclature (an artificial agreement to name biological diversity). Two proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region and extent) to serve as types of taxon names for voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from environmental DNA sequences), have been submitted to be voted on at the 11 International Mycological Congress (Puerto Rico, July 2018). We consider various genetic processes affecting the distribution of alleles among taxa and find that alleles may not consistently and uniquely represent the species within which they are contained. Should the proposals be accepted, the meaning of nomenclatural types would change in a fundament...

So far 338 species have been recorded here. 14 of them were not recorded from Slovakia so far: Agonimia globulifera, Caloplaca adriatica, Candelariella efflorescens, Collema ligerinum, Lecania turicensis, Lecanora thysanophora, Pterygiopsis umbilicata, Scoliciosporum gallurae, Staurothele orbicularis, Verrucaria endocarpoides, V. fuscoatroides, V. helveticorum, V. sorbinea and V. tuerkii. They are discussed in detail together with other taxa which were believed to be extinct and species of national, phytogeographic or ecological importance/pecularity (viz Arthonia calcicola, Caloplaca proteus, Cyphelium notarisii, Lepto− gium hildenbrandii, Solenopsora carpatica, Usnea glabrata, Verrucaria macrostoma). Unique cha− racter of the local lichen−flora is supported by the fact that Mt Cigánka shelters 96 red listed spe...
