Materials and Methods
Fresh specimens collected from the field were used to create Herbarium
sheets, adhering to the established protocols of Bridson & Forman
(1989). Additionally, specimens were preserved in FAA solution to
facilitate microscopic investigations. The general structure of the
newly discovered species was examined with a stereo binocular
microscope. To ensure accurate morphological comparisons, we consulted
the digital type material housed in CAL, K, G and P collections
(acronyms according to Thiers 2020). In accordance with the IUCN
criteria (IUCN 2017), we present an assessment and rationale for the
conservation status of the species. The International Code of
Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (The Shenzhen Code, Turlandet al. 2018) has been used for the nomenclature of a new species.
