Hypotrachyna minarum (Vain.) Krog & Swinscow
Lichenologist, 19: 420, 1987. Basionym: Parmelia minarum Vain. - Acta Soc. Fauna Fl. Fenn. 7, 1: 48, 1890.
Synonyms: Parmelia scortella auct. non Nyl.; Parmelinopsis minarum (Vain.) Elix & Hale
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, rather loosely appressed, forming up to 8 cm wide, irregular, more or less compact rosettes. Lobes irregularly branched with rounded axils, elongate, contiguous to imbricate, (0.5-)1-3(-5) mm wide, with truncate to subrotund, crenulate tips, apparently with to 0.7 mm long, black marginal cilia (actually projecting rhizines). Upper surface pale ash-grey, sometimes slightly glaucescent, rarely browned at margins, smooth, emaculate, rather shiny; isidia dark grey, simple to branched-coralloid, eciliate or rarely with very short, black cilia visible only at high magnification, sometimes apically browned. Lower surface black in central parts, brown at margins, slightly shiny, with simple to irregularly branched, black rhizines which often project beyond lobe margins. Upper cortex of tightly packed, anticlinally oriented hyphae, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with isolichenan; medulla white or rarely pale yellow; algal layer continuous; lower cortex brown, of anticlinally oriented hyphae. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine, 1-5 mm across, with a dark brown disc and an isidiate thalline margin. Epithecium brownish; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 10-17 x (5-)8-10 µm. Pycnidia rare, laminal, immersed. Conidia cylindrical. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K+ yellow; C-, KC-, P-; medulla K- or K+ pink, C+ pink, KC+ pink, P-, UV-. Chemistry: upper cortex with atranorin and chloroatranorin; medulla with gyrophoric acid (major), 5-O-methylhiascic, lecanoric and umbilicaric acids (minor), 4,5-di-O-methylhiascic and 2,4,5-tri-O-methylhiascic acids (trace).
