Polyblastidium subneglectum (Elix) Kalb

in Mongkolsuk & al., Phytotaxa, 235, 1: 5, 2015. Basionym: Heterodermia subneglecta Elix - Australas. Lichenol., 68: 17, 2011.
Synonyms: Heterodermia japonica auct. eur.; Heterodermia obscurata auct. eur. p.max.p.
Distribution: N - Frl (Badin & Nimis 1996 as Heterodermia obscurata).
Description: Thallus foliose, narrow-lobed, loosely attached, forming irregular to orbicular rosettes to 5 cm in diam. Lobes sublinear-elongate, radiating, widening towards the ascending lobe-tips, c. 2-3(-4) mm wide at tips, sometimes with lobules along the margins, with short marginal cilia. Upper surface white to cream-coloured, sometimes pruinose at tips, with labriform soralia on lateral or terminal lobes. Lower surface white, arachnoid, spotted with an orange-red pigment, with mainly marginal, simple, black, 1-3(-7) mm long rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla white; lower cortex absent. Apothecia extremely rare, lecanorine. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, broadly ellipsoid, 21-31 x 12-17 µm. Photobiont: chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P-; orange spots on lower surface K+ purple. Chemistry: cortex with atranorin and chloroatranorin, medulla with zeorin and an orange pigment.
Note: according to Roux & coll. (2014) most samples of Heterodermia obscurata from Europe do actually belong to this species, which differs in chemical characters and in having a white, yellow-orange-spotted lower surface (whereas the lower surface of H. obscurata is yellow-orange throughout).
Growth form: Foliose, narrow lobed
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
