Author Notes
Believe it or not factoid about lichens from Internet:
There are only two native flowering plants in Antarctica, with the terrestrial vegetation being primarily composed of cryptograms (a plant or plant-like creature that reproduces through spores rather than seeds or blooms. The algae, bryophytes, and pteridophytes are considered cryptograms). Lichen are the most species rich, with 350 species currently described (Kappen, 2000; Robinson et al., 2003). However, there is some debate about this total, depending on classifications, with a more conservative total also being put forward (Lindsay, 1978).
