'''''Lasallia''''' is a [[genus]] of [[lichen]]-forming fungi in the family [[Umbilicariaceae]]. The genus was [[circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscribed]] by [[François Victor Mérat de Vaumartoise]] in 1821.<ref name="Mérat de Vaumartoise 1821"/>  The genus name ''Lasallia'' honours of Mr. Lasalle (born around 1820), who was a French gardener and botanist, who worked in [[Fontainebleau]].<ref name="Hertel 2012"/> Early [[molecular phylogenetics]] analysis of [[internal transcribed spacer]] DNA showed that the genus was [[monophyletic]].<ref name="Ivanova et al. 1999"/>
[[High performance liquid chromatography]] analysis of several ''Lasallia'' species revealed a number of [[secondary metabolite]]s in this genus, including [[gyrophoric acid]], [[lecanoric acid]], [[umbilicaric acid]], [[7-chloroemodin]], [[valsarin]], [[skyrin]], [[hiascic acid]], and [[ovoic acid]].<ref name="Posner et al. 1991"/>
