CONT

A macrolichen is a lichen that is either bush-like or leafy; all other lichens are termed microlichens. ... Here, "macro" and "micro" do not refer to size, but to the growth form.

  • Lichens
CONT

Les lichénologues distinguent parfois les «macrolichens» (forme des lichens squamuleux, foliacés ou fruticuleux), des «microlichens» (lichens crustacés granuleux, verruqueux, pulvérulents ou lépreux) [...]; les préfixes «macro» et «micro» ne se réfèrent donc pas ici à la taille du lichen, mais à la hauteur de son thalle et à la forme de croissance du lichen.
