Physciella chloantha (Ach.) Essl.
Mycologia, 78: 94, 1986. Basionym: Parmelia chloantha Ach. - Syn. Meth. Lich.: 217, 1814.
Synonyms: Phaeophyscia chloantha (Ach.) Moberg; Physcia labrata var. intermedia Mereschk.; Physcia luganensis Mereschk.; Physcia obscura var. chloantha (Ach.) Rabenh.; Physcia pragensis Nádv.
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, narrow-lobed, rather loosely attached, forming at first orbicular, then irregular, up to 3 cm wide rosettes. Lobes discrete to imbricate, (0.2-)0.5-1(-1.5) mm broad, flat, whitish to pale brown, epruinose, with terminal labriform soralia at the tips of ascending lobules. Lower surface white to pale tan, with simple, pale rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla white; lower cortex prosoplectenchymatous. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, 17-23 x 8-11 µm, the wall thickened at apex and at septum, Physcia-type. Pycnidia rare. Conidia short-ellipsoid. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Growth form: Foliose, narrow lobed
Substrata: bark and rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
