editorial
Galloway (2007) and other sources, including Mycobank (viewed online June 2025), cite this as Anisomeridium biforme (Borrer) R.C.Harris, with the basionym Verrucaria biformis Borrer in W.J. Hooker, J.E. Smith & J. Sowerby, Suppl. Engl. Bot. 1: tab. 2617 (1831), however Verrucaria biformis was described earlier by Schaerer in Lich. Helv. Spic. 1 sect. 2: 56 (1826).
