Lecanora epanora (Ach.) Ach.
Lichenogr. Univ.: 377, 1810. Basionym: Lichen epanorus Ach. - Lich. Suec. Prodr.: 39, 1799.
Synonyms: Parmelia epanora (Ach.) Ach.; Patellaria epanora (Ach.) Trevis.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, of flattened to usually strongly convex-verrucose, aggregated or dispersed, yellow to greenish-yellow, sometimes darker bottle-green areoles, rarely delimited by a thin black prothallus, the areoles more or less covered with pale green to lemon-yellow soredia arranged in globose, convex, finally confluent soralia arising in the center. Apothecia rare, lecanorine, sessile, 0.5-2 mm across, with a concave to slightly convex, brownish yellow disc and a flexuose, sometimes sorediate, concolorous thalline margin. Epithecium yellowish to brownish, with yellowish granules insoluble in K; hymenium colourless, 65-85 µm high; paraphyses branched and anastomosing, 1-2 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells not or only slightly swollen; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid, 8-13 x 5-6.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV+ bright orange. Chemistry: epanorin, rhizocarpic acid, zeorin.

Substrata: rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
