The papers of systematic interest deal with Bacidia (22 spp. in the Iberian Peninsula, with a key), Buellia dispersa, Lepraria and Leproloma (in Poland), Leptorhaphis (in Hungary), Lobariaceae (molecular phylogenetics of the family), Megaspora (molecular studies show a close relationship to Aspicilia), Minutoexcipula (2 spp. nov.), and Siphula (synopsis of the genus, with 23 spp. accepted).
The papers included are well-presented and have obviously been carefully refereed and edited, give an impression of an active discipline with many new researchers, but could have easily found outlets in regular journals. The main thrust of the first Lichenology: Progress and Problems meeting in 1974 (Brown et al. 1976) was to provide in-depth authoritative reviews and updates of the field rather than specialist papers. The title has been taken up by subsequent IAL congresses, but with books remaining out of reach financially to many individual researchers, the wisdom of the separate publication of sets of specialized papers has to be questioned in future.
