Hypotrachyna horrescens (Taylor) Krog & Swinscow
Lichenologist, 19: 420, 1987. Basionym: Parmelia horrescens Taylor in Mackay - Fl. Hibern., 2: 144, 1836.
Synonyms: Parmelia dissecta Nyl.; Parmelina dissecta (Nyl.) Hale; Parmelina horrescens (Taylor) Hale; Parmelinopsis horrescens (Taylor) Elix & Hale
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, loosely to tightly attached, forming 2-5(-7) cm wide, irregular rosettes, isidiate. Lobes narrow, 0.2-3 mm wide, irregularly branched with rounded axils, contiguous and often imbricate, with truncate to subrotund apices, the margins indented and often laciniate, apparently with simple, black up to 0.8 mm long marginal cilia (actually projecting rhizines). Upper surface whitish grey to greenish grey, smooth, shiny, epruinose, usually emaculate, densely covered in cylindrical to lobulate-coralloid, apically often brownish, short-ciliate isidia, the cilia black, 0.1-0.4 mm long. Lower surface black, shiny, densely rhizinate, with a narrow, naked, brown marginal zone; rhizines black, shiny, simple to rarely dichotomously branched or occasionally squarrose, usually projecting beyond lobe margins. Upper cortex of tightly packed, anticlinally oriented hyphae, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with isolichenan; medulla white; algal layer continuous; lower cortex brown, of anticlinally oriented hyphae. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine, laminal, to 5 mm across, with a brown disc and an isidiate thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid, (12-)15-19 x 7-10(-12) µm. Pycnidia rare, immersed. Conidia cylindrical, 3-5 x c. 0.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P- or P+ faintly yellow; medulla K-, C-, KC+ pink, P-, UV-. Chemistry: upper cortex with atranorin and chloroatranorin; medulla with gyrophoric acid (major), lecanoric and umbilicaric acids (minor), and related accessory substances (hiascic, 4,5-di-0-methylhiascic, 4-0-methylhiascic acids).
Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by isidia, or isidia-like structures (e.g. schizidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
