Melanelixia
Sign in to saveMelanelixia is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae. It contains 15 Northern Hemisphere species that grow on bark or on wood. The genus is characterized by a pored or fenestrate epicortex (a thin homogeneous polysaccharide layer on the surface of the cortex), and the production of lecanoric acid as the primary chemical constituent of the medulla. Melanelixia was circumscribed in 2004 as a segregate of the related genus Melanelia.

==Taxonomy== Melanelixia was circumscribed in 2004 as a segregate of the genus Melanelia. Melanelixia originally contained eight species, including the type, M. glabra. The genus name combines Melanelia with the name of lichenologist John A. Elix, "for his immense contributions to lichen systematics and chemistry, especially in Parmeliaceae."
