Of the c . 900 lichen species known from Kenya, 178 belong to the parmelioid clade.
Several of these parmelioid taxa require further revisionary studies. An identification
key to the species of the parmelioid clade, based on updated nomenclature, is produced
to support the practical work in collecting and selecting certain parmelioid lichens
for further research. A new combination Parmotrema nyasense (C. W. Dodge) R. S. Egan
comb. nov. in Egan et al. , Bibliotheca Lichenologica 110 , 383 (2016) is published
here by R. S. Egan.
