Lichenographia Universalis. 1810. (Reprint 1976). 14 plates. 720 p. Hardcover.
Erik Acharius (1757-1819) can justly be regarded as the Linnaeus of lichenology. Lichenographia Universalis was his major work. Here he describes his terminology in detail and presents a comprehensive taxonomic treatment (with synonymies, descriptions and notes on ecologyand distribution) of the lichens then known throughout the world. With new introduction by O. Vitikainen (Helsinki).
