Nephromopsis laureri (Kremp.) Kurok.
J. Jap. Bot., 66: 156, 1991. Basionym: Cetraria laureri Kremp. - Flora, 34: 673, 1851.
Synonyms: Cetraria complicata Laurer; Platysma complicatum ("Laurer") Nyl.; Platysma laureri (Kremp.) Nyl.; Tuckneraria laureri (Kremp.) Randlane & A. Thell
Description: Thallus foliose, dorsiventral, loosely attached, up to 6 cm wide, sorediate. Lobes rounded, (3-)5-10(-20) mm wide, the margins markedly wavy, ascending, with linear, white soralia. Upper surface pale yellowish green; lower surface white to very pale brown, with white, rounded or irregular pseudocyphellae (which may lack in some specimens and are often surrounded by a pale brown line), and scattered, simple to forked rhizines. Upper and lower cortex paraplectenchymatous, with strongly gelatinized cells; medulla white. Apothecia extremely rare (not observed in Italian material), lecanorine, mostly marginal, with a brown disc and a usually sorediate thalline margin. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate, with a small axial body and a distinct, K/I+ blue ring-structure in the rather large tholus, approaching the Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, subglobose, 5-6 x 4-4.5 μm. Pycnidia immersed in marginal projections. Conidia simple, swollen at both ends, c. 3-5 x 0.5-1 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K- or K+ faintly yellow, C-, KC+ faintly yellow, P-; medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: cortex with usnic acid; medulla with lichesterinic and protolichesterinic-type fatty acids;
