Parmotrema stuppeum (Taylor) Hale

Phytologia, 28: 339, 1974. Basionym: Parmelia stuppea Taylor - London J. Bot., 6: 175, 1847.
Synonyms: Parmelia claudelii (Harm.) Vain.; Parmelia maxima Hue; Parmelia trichotera var. claudelii (Harm.) Du Rietz
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, adnate to loosely adnate, grey, (5-)10-20 cm in diam., sorediate. Lobes elongate, slightly imbricate, emaculate, (4-)8-15 mm wide, rounded at apices, the margins with up to 2 mm long, black cilia. Soredia granular, arranged in linear to orbicular, laminal or marginal, usually confluent soralia. Lower surface black in central parts, with black, simple rhizines, the marginal zone pale brown, erhizinate. Upper cortex of tightly packed, anticlinally oriented hyphae, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with lichenan intermediate between the Cetraria- and the Xanthoparmelia-types; medulla white; algal layer continuous; lower cortex prosoplectenchymatous, with rounded and thick-walled cells. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine, substipitate, up to 30 mm across, with a brown, imperforate disc, and a smooth, raised thalline margin. Epithecium brownish; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 12-17 x 6-9 µm. Pycnidia common only in fertile specimens, immersed, punctiform, black. Conidia sublageniform, 4-6 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P- or P+ faintly yellow, UV-; medulla K+ yellow turning deep red, C-, KC- or KC+ orange, P+ orange, UV-. Chemistry: upper cortex with atranorin and chloroatranorin; medulla with salazinic acid (major) and consalazinic acid (minor).
Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed
Substrata: bark
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
