Cresponea

Cresponea is a genus of lichens in the family Roccellaceae. The genus, circumscribed in 1993, contains species that were formerly classified in Lecanactis. Cresponea is widely distributed, but most species are found in tropical and subtropical regions.[1] The genus is named in honor of Spanish lichenologist Ana Crespo.[2]
