Abstract: ["The Parmeliaceae is strongly supported as monophyletic and six well-supported main clades can be distinguished. The clades largely agree with the morphology-based groupings and only the placement of four of the genera studied is rejected by molecular data, while four others genera belong to clades previously unrecognized. The classification of these previously misplaced genera, however, has already been questioned by some authors based on morphological evidence. These results support morphological characters as important for the identification of monophyletic clades within Parmeliaceae."]
