Taxonomy edit
The genus was circumscribed by lichenologists Ulrik Søchting, Patrik Frödén, and Ulf Arup. The type species is G. cribrosa, a species that was first named Polycauliona cribrosa by Auguste-Marie Hue in 1909. The genus name refers to the ancestral supercontinent Gondwana.[4]
Description edit
Gondwania species grow on rock, and have a variety of forms: lobate, somewhat fruticose, or crustose.[5] Species contain lichen products characteristic of chemosyndrome A. Cerothallis and Austroplaca are closely related genera in the Teloschistaceae. Gondwania has a Southern Hemisphere distribution, occurring in the Antarctic, southern Australia, New Zealand, and Patagonia.[4]

The proposed taxon Gondwania regalis (Vain.) Søchting, Frödén & Arup (2013) has since been transferred to a different genus and is now known as Polycauliona regalis.[8]
