FIGURE 1. Phylogenetic relationships among 33 samples of Ochrolechia (with three Marfloraea species used as outgroup taxa) based on a data set of mtSSU sequences that resulted from a Bayesian analysis using MrBayes. Posterior probabilities are shown above internal branches. Internal branches considered strongly supported are represented by thicker lines. The newly sequenced specimens are in bold. Collecting numbers of the authors or the GenBank accession numbers following the species names act as specimen and sequence identifiers. Species of interest, discussed in the paper, are highlighted in colour. The length of the branch represented by dashed lines was reduced by 50% for editing reason.
