Seaward M. R. D. (2007): Richard Spruce's contributions to lichenology, Bibl. Lichenol., 95: 105-117

A biographical review of the Victorian botanist and explorer Richard Spruce (1817-1893) is provided. Details are given of his work on the English, Pyrenean and South American floras, with particular attention paid to his contribution to cryptogamic botany. His lichenological expertise, which has hitherto received less attention, is evaluated mainly in terms of the extensive collections (including unpublished exsiccatae) he assembled Read more...

Moberg R. (2007): What a visitor's book reveals, Bibl. Lichenol., 95: 101-104

Returning from Rolf Santesson\'s 90th birthday party in his home, I opened the Uppsala Botanical Museum visitors\’ book introduced by him at the beginning of 1950s. The first page shows the signature of our former king, Gustav VI Adolf, who visited the Museum in connection with a donation of new cassettes for the material of the pupils of Linnaeus, Fredrik Hasselquist and Pehr Kalm. The old, empty cassettes should go back to the castle library at Drottningholm. The visitors\’ book contains thousands … Read more...

Kärnefelt I., Thell A. (2007): International Association for Lichenology: the early years, Bibl. Lichenol., 95: 75-100

One of the main purposes of the International Association for Lichenology (IAL), inaugurated in 1967, was to establish a Newsletter in order to provide a forum for lichenologists worldwide to communicate with each other. In consequence, the early history of the IAL is in large degree the story of the International Lichenological Newsletter (ILN). Those responsible for organising the IAL at this time were essentially the editors of the Newsletter, hard-working people, collating hundreds of short notes … Read more...

Kärnefelt I. & Thell A. (2007): Erik Acharius and his times, Bibl. Lichenol., 95: 63-74

“We left Skjärsjö on May 22 1803 at around noon... Our journey now continued to the closely located town of Vadstena at the shore of lake Vättern to visit Acharius who lived there. During the evening of the day of our arrival we had the pleasure to visit Dr Acharius. He asked us to come next morning. Yet, before the end of the day, this kind man had already asked us to accompany him at home. We were very glad indeed to find this number one lichenologist, as we surely considered him, and appreciated … Read more...

Hawksworth D. L. (2007): William Lauder Lindsay (1829-1880): notes on an extraordinary man, and the new lichenicolous fungi he described from New Zealand, Bibl. Lichenol., 95: 29-40

William Lauder Lindsay (1829–1880) was a person so ahead of his times in many directions that his significance as an advanced thinker in fields ranging from medicine and mineralogy to the conservation of biodiversity and lichenology is hardly recognized to the degree that it merits. This contribution provides a synopsis of the man and his life, his contributions to lichenology, an introduction to the works arising from his studies in New Zealand in 1861–62, and a synopsis of the modern interpretation … Read more...

Arvidsson L. (2007): A bibliography of David Galloway, Bibl. Lichenol., 95: 3-28

A bibliography of David Galloway including 319 published works is presented on the occasion of his 65th birthday. This excellent lichenologist is briefly presented. Galloway is well known as an engaged explorer of New Zealand’s lichen flora. His scientific work covers all aspects of lichenology, such as monographic treatments of various groups, local floras, morphology, nomenclature, biogeography, ecology, conservation, molecular biology and chemistry of lichens, as well as historical accounts, … Read more...

Zimmermann D. G., Heibel E. & Lumbsch H. T. (2003): Beiträge zur Flechtenflora Westfalens II: Bemerkenswerte Flechtenfunde aus zwei Gebieten im Sauerland, Bibl. Lichenol., 86: 485-491

Remarkable lichen species found in the Sauerland, Germany between Bigge and Lenne and in the Littfeld area are presented. For selected species notes on distribution and ecology are given. Naetrocymbe fraxini is a new record for Northrhine-Westphalia. Hymenelia prevostii und Phaeocalicium populneum have not been collected in Northrhine-Westphalia since 1900, Arthrorhaphis grisea, Cetrelia olivetorum, Lecanora albellula und Physcia aipolia are rediscoveries for Westphalia. Remarkable species include … Read more...

Sparrius L. B., Aptroot A. (2003): Changes in the lichen flora of megalithic monuments in the Netherlands, Bibl. Lichenol., 86: 441-452

The 54 megalithic monuments in the Netherlands together represent a large (proportion of the exposed siliceous non-littoral rock surface in this mostly alluvial country. They are rich in lichens and currently harbour 128 different species, 27 of which are (classified on the Red List. In 1988, 1993 and 2000 the lichen flora of all granite monuments has been examined and the lichen flora shows an unexpected, strong change in response to environmental factors. The most important change is the increase … Read more...

McCarthy P. M., Culberson W. L., Egan R. S. & Esslinger T. L. (2001): Lichenological publications of Jack Elix 1969-2000, Bibl. Lichenol., 78: 411-429

The following list of 387 publications has been extracted from "Recent Literature on Lichens" in The Bryologist (and available on-line at http://www. toyen.uio.no/ botanisk/bot-mus/lav/sok_rll.htm). This prodigious body of work is testament to Jack Elix’s unrivalled understanding of the Australian lichens, his enviable familiarity with the floras of many other regions, and his willingness to help colleagues resolve chemotaxonomic problems.
