Placynthium hungaricum Gyeln.

A xerothermic Mediterranean lichen growing on sun-exposed calcareous rocks. It has a pruinose sublobate thallus, 1-septate ascospores and no prothallus. It is easily confused with the little known P. tremniacum, which, however, differs in prothallus presence. In the Czech Republic, it was discovered only recently (Svoboda 2007) in the Český kras (the Bohemian karst) and is not known from elsewhere.
