Rinodina oleae Bagl.

Mem. R. Accad. Sci. Torino, ser. 2, 17: 403, 1857.
Synonyms: Rinodina exigua var. glauca H. Magn.
Distribution: N - Emil (Nascimbene & al. 2021), Lig (Anzi Lich. Lang. 304 and E.C.I. 35: Giralt & Mayrhofer 1995). C - Tosc (Jatta 1909-1911), Sar (Giralt & Mayrhofer 1995). S - Camp (Aprile & al. 2003b), Pugl (Giralt & Mayrhofer 1995, Nimis & Tretiach 1999), Cal (Giralt & Mayrhofer 1995), Si (TSB 21495).
Description: Thallus crustose, thinly episubstratic, continuous to rimose-areolate, sometimes reduced to a few small areoles around the apothecia but usually forming large patches, whitish grey to pale greenish grey, dull, with or without an evident dark prothallus. Apothecia lecanorine, immersed to adnate, 0.2-0.5(-0.7) mm across, with a dark brown to black, epruinose, flat to slightly convex disc, an entire, thin, finally often excluded thalline margin, and a more or less evident parathecial ring. Thalline exciple with a poorly developed, 10-25(-40) µm thick cortex reacting I+ faintly blue; proper exciple thin; epithecium dark brown, K-; hymenium colourless, 60-90 µm high, K/I+ blue; paraphyses 1.5-2.5 µm thick at mid-level, not conglutinate, the apical cells 3-5(-6) µm wide; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate to clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, pigmented, broadly ellipsoid, sometimes slightly curved, (11-)15-17(-21) x (6-)7-8(-9.5) µm, Dirinaria-type, with a warted wall, swollen around the septum after pre-treatment with K, the torus poorly developed, the ontogeny of type B (apical thickenings visible before the insertion of the septum). Pycnidia immersed, black, pyriform. Conidia bacilliform, 3-4(-5) x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a mainly coastal, Mediterranean epiphytic lichen which was overlooked or confused with similar species in the past; mostly Tyrrhenian in Italy. The species is very closely related to the saxicolous R. gennarii (see comment on that species).
