List of lichens named by Carl Linnaeus

The Swedish taxonomist Carl Linnaeus described 110 lichen species in his various works between 1753 and 1774, chiefly in the first (1753) and second (1763) editions of Species Plantarum, and in later works such as Systema Naturae and Mantissa plantarum. Although Linnaeus showed much less interest in lichens than in flowering plants, he recognized their ecological role as pioneer organisms in primary ecological successions.
