The species epithet honours Japanese botanist and lichenologist Isao Yoshimura.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Verrucaria yoshimurae” as species of lichen. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Verrucaria, yoshimurae and Species.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2011—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Verrucaria, yoshimurae and Species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Verrucaria yoshimurae”, the useful work is to connect “species of lichen” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q115793961. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
