Lepra multipuncta (Turner) Hafellner
in Hafellner & Türk, Stapfia, 104: 172, 2016. Basionym: Variolaria multipuncta Turner - Trans. Linn. Soc. London, 9: 137, 1808.
Synonyms: Pertusaria globulifera var. sorediata Mudd; Pertusaria leptospora Nitschke; Pertusaria multipuncta (Turner) Nyl.; Pertusaria sorediata C. Knight
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, ash-grey to bluish grey, 1-3 mm thick, sometimes thinner, continuous to rimose, coarsely warted, usually well-delimited by a pale prothallus. Fruiting warts 0.5-1.5(-2) mm across, flattened, covered in white, granular soredia. Apothecia immersed in the fruiting warts (and hence visible only when these are sectioned), 1-2(-5) per wart, with a pale yellowish brown to blackish brown, white-pruinose, c. 0.5(-1) mm wide disc. Asci 1-spored, cylindrical, with thick, amyloid walls, Pertusaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, elongate-ellipsoid to cylindrical, 90-180(-200) x 30-60(-70) μm, the wall up to 10 μm thick, uniform. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and soralia K+ yellow-brown, C-, KC+ yellow, P+ bright orange-red, UV- or faintly glaucous. Chemistry: physodalic acid (major), protocetraric acid (traces).
