Note: "Porpidia flavicunda (Ach.) Gowan, 1989 is used for the esorediate taxon usually known as Porpidia flavocoerulescens (Porpidia flavocaerulescens). Because this epithet is to be proposed for rejection as it is considered to be of confused usage". (Fryday 2005)   [Porpidia flavocaerulescens = Porpidia flavicunda]
