Taxonomy
The genus was circumscribed by French botanist Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée in Essai Crypt. Exot. (Paris) 1: XLVI, 100 in 1825.[2]
The genus name of Gassicurtia is in honour of Louis Claude Cadet de Gassicourt (1731–1799) who was a French chemist who synthesised the first organometalic compound.[3]
It was later resurrected by Bernhard Marbach in his 2000 monograph on Buellia sensu lato. The genus contains species that are part of the tropical Buellia group with 2-celled ascospores, and which lack algae in the margin.[4]
