in Egan, Bryologist, 90: 163, 1987. Basionym: Crocynia vouauxii Hue - Bull. Soc. Bot. France, 71: 392, 1924.
Synonyms: Crocynia arctica Lynge; Lepraria arctica (Lynge) Wetmore; Leproloma vouauxii (Hue) J.R. Laundon
Description: Thallus leprose, cottony, 0.2-0.4 mm thick, forming obscurely lobed rosettes to irregularly delimited or diffuse, composed of a mass of powdery granules, pale yellowish-grey or pale cream-coloured, usually with a yellowish tinge. Granules ecorticate, soredia-like, 30-80(-180) µm wide, rarely gathered in up to 300 µm wide aggregates, without or with short projecting hyphae. Medulla white, weakly developed, the hyphae 2-4 µm thick, anastomosing, most often covered in numerous colourless crystals; lower side of thallus sometimes with orange-brown hyphae forming a weakly developed hypothallus reacting K+ purple-red. Photobiont chlorococcoid, the cells globose, up to 20 µm in diam. Spot tests: K- or K+ dirty yellow to orange, C- or C+ dirty orange, KC-, P- to P+ orange or yellow-orange, UV-. Chemistry: pannaric acid-6 methylester, rarely atranorin and roccellic acid, with or without pannaric acid.
