AbstractEight species of Parmelia Ach., with pseudocyphellae on the upper surface, and three species of Punctelia Krog, are recognised in the Australasian flora viz.: Parmelia cunninghamii Crombie, P. erumpens Kurokawa, P. pseudotenuir-ima Gyelnik, P. saxatilis (L.) Ach., P. signifera Nyl., P. sulcata Taylor, P. tenuirima J. D. Hook, et Taylor, and P. testacea Stirton; Punctelia borreri (Sm.) Krog, P. rudecta (Ach.) Krog, and P. subrudecta (Nyl.) Krog. A key to species is given together with details of morphology, chemistry, habitats, and distribution. Parmelia erimis (Nyl.) Hillm., P. crambidiocarpa Zahlbr., and P. rudior Nyl., are reduced to synonymy with P. testacea; Cetraria corallophora Mull. Arg., Parmelia laceratula Nyl., P. rutidota var. vestita Zahlbr., and P. subflava Taylor to synonymy with Punctelia rudecta; and Parmelia pseudocoralloidea Gyelnik, P. hypoleuca f. coralloidea Mull. Arg., P. novae hollandiae f. cor-alloidea (Mull. Arg.) Zahlbr., and P. victoriana f. coralloidea (Mull. Arg.) Zahlbr., to synonymy with Punctelia subrudecta.
