leucoxantha s.str.
Taxon category: Accepted
F. Bungartz: most Galapagos material is densely sorediate and therefore does not belong to B. leucoxantha s.str. However, some material not forming soredia has been found, those esorediate specimens may not be identical with the sorediate forms because they are known from much drier habitats only.
Origin: Native
