Eugeniella
Eugeniella is a genus of mostly leaf-dwelling (foliicolous) lichens in the family Pilocarpaceae.[1] It contains 13 species. The genus was circumscribed in 2008 by lichenologists Robert Lücking, Emmanuël Sérusiaux, and Klaus Kalb, with Eugeniella psychotriae assigned as the type species.[2] This lichen was originally called Patellaria psychotriae by Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1881.[3] The seven species that were initially included in the genus had previously been placed in the genera Bacidia (sensu lato) and Byssoloma.[2] Several newly identified species from Australasia and Central and South America were later added. Most of the species grow on leaves, although four of the Australasian species grow on bark.
