Description

Syncesia is a lichen genus found primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. It forms thin, pale-colored crusts on tree bark and rocks. These lichens are notable for their disk-shaped fruiting bodies, which are often sunken into the thallus. Some species in this group have been found to contain unique chemical compounds that may have potential medicinal properties.
