Description
Strigulaceae is a family of lichens that primarily grow on leaves in tropical regions. These lichens form thin, flattened structures that closely adhere to leaf surfaces. Some species in this group have unique structures called perithecia, which are small, flask-shaped reproductive organs. Strigulaceae lichens play important roles in tropical forest ecosystems and can be indicators of air quality and forest health.
