André Michaux

French botanist and explorer (1746-1802).

André Michaux (Pronounced → ahn-dray mee-show; sometimes anglicised as Andrew Michaud; 8 March 1746 – 11 October 1802) was a French botanist and explorer. He is most noted for his study of North American flora. In addition Michaux collected specimens in England, Spain, France, and even Persia. His work was part of a larger European effort to gather knowledge about the natural world. Michaux's contributions include Histoire des chênes de l'Amérique (1801; "The Oaks of North America") and Flora Boreali-Americana (1803; "The Flora of North America") which continued to be botanical references well

Physcia (Rosette Lichen) (Schreb.) Michx. 1803
fungi genus in the physciaceae family
Physcia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. The widely distributed genus contains about 80 species. The genus is cosmopolitan, and has been extensively studied in various regions in the past several decades, with significant biodiversity in South America identified as a central diversity hotspot. Physcia species are foliose, lobate lichens that grow with a loose to close appressed habit. Their upper surface is typically whitish, pale greenish, green-grey, or dark grey in colour. The thallus colour remains relatively unchanged when moistened. Physcia lichens typically
Psoroma (Bowl Lichen) Ach. ex Michx. 1803
fungi genus in the pannariaceae family
Psoroma is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Pannariaceae. The widespread genus contains about 30 species, most of which are found in south temperate regions.
Umbilicaria vellea (Arctic Frosted Rock Tripe) (L.) Michx. 1803
fungi species in the umbilicariaceae family
Umbilicaria vellea is a species of lichen-forming fungus in the genus Umbilicaria. It is sometimes called navel lichen. It is found in North America and Europe in alpine and arctic habitats. It is similar to the species Umbilicaria americana, which has a more southern distribution. In Nepal, Umbilicaria vellea has been reported from 3,600 to 5,050 m elevation in a compilation of published records; this reported range extends above the tree line used in the study. In Iceland, it is found at only one location and is listed as an endangered species (EN).
Teloschistes exilis (Slender Orange-bush) (Michx.) Vain. 1890
fungi species in the teloschistaceae family
Teloschistes exilis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), fruticose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It was first formally described in 1803 by French botanist André Michaux, as Physcia exilis. Finnish lichenologist Edvard Vainio transferred the taxon to the genus Teloschistes in 1890. The lichen is found in the Americas. Secondary metabolites (lichen products) that have been identified from the lichen include parietin and teloschistin. A form of the lichen described by Vilmos Kőfaragó-Gyelnik in 1938, Teloschistes exilis f. inaequalis Gyeln., has been proposed to represent a
Cladonia sulphurina (Greater Sulphur-cup Lichen) (Michx.) Fr. 1831
fungi species in the cladoniaceae family
Cladonia sulphurina is a species of cup lichen belonging to the family Cladoniaceae. As of July 2021, its conservation status has not been estimated by the IUCN. In Iceland, it is classified as an endangered species (EN).
Parmotrema submarginale (Unperforated Ruffle) (Michx.) DePriest & B.W. Hale 1998
fungi species in the parmeliaceae family
Parmotrema submarginale is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It was first formally described as a new species in 1803 by French botanist André Michaux, who called it Lobaria submarginalis. Paula DePriest and Beatrice Hale transferred it to the genus Parmotrema in 1998. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Thailand, and the United States. Paragyalideopsis floridae is a lichenicolous fungus that has been documented infecting Parmotrema submarginale in Florida.
