Synonyms: Koerberia lusitanica Samp.; Koerberia sonomensis (Tuck.) Henssen; Tingiopsidium pubescens Werner; Vestergrenopsis sonomensis (Tuck.) T. Sprib. & Muggia

Description: Thallus small-foliose, dark olive-green to olive-brown, forming 0.5-1 cm wide rosettes with elongate lobes. Lobes up to 2 mm long, c. 0.1-0.3 (-1) mm wide, stellately radiating, sometimes striate; lower surface pale olive, with tufts of pale rhizines. Apothecia deep red-brown, flat or slightly convex, 0.4-0.6 mm across. Pseudoexciple more or less pseudoparenchymatous, 60-160 µm wide; epithecium brown; hymenium colourless, 55-100 µm high; paraphyses septate, simple or sparingly branched, the apical cells swollen, moniliform; subhymenium colourless and partly pseudoparenchymatous, 70-160 µm thick. Asci 8-spored, lacking internal amyloid structures, 9-11.5 x 35-66 µm, with biseriately arranged spores. Ascospores 1-celled to 1-septate, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid to fusiform, 10-17(-36) x (1.5-)3.5-4.5 µm. Pycnidia laminal, subglobose, c. 0.2 µm in diam., with a brown ostiole. Conidia simple, hyaline, bacilliform, 3-6 x 1 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Scytonema-like). Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances.Note: a manly Mediterranean species, also known from California, found on sun-exposed surfaces of siliceous rocks with frequent water seepage after rain in periodically humid areas.
