Physconia detersa (Nyl.) Poelt
Nova Hedwigia, 12: 123, 1966. Basionym: Parmelia pulverulenta var. detersa Nyl. - Syn. Meth. Lich., 1: 420, 1860.
Synonyms: Hagenia detersa (Nyl.) Bagl.; Physcia detersa (Nyl.) Nyl.; Physcia grisea f. subnitens (Vain.) Räsänen; Physcia grisea var. detersa (Nyl.) Lynge; Physcia lanuginosa var. pannarioides Räsänen; Physcia leucoleiptes auct. p.p. non (Tuck.) Lettau; Physcia leucoleiptes var. detersa (Nyl.) Nádv.
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, rather loosely adnate, forming orbicular or rarely irregular, up to 6(-8) cm wide rosettes. Lobes linear-elongate, discrete to somewhat irregularly rounded and partly imbricate, 1-2(-3) mm broad, flat to slightly concave. Upper surface grey-brown or brown, coarsely bluish pruinose at least at lobe-tips, with primarily marginal, linear-elongate, bluish grey soralia bearing granulose, pseudocorticate and almost isidioid soredia. Lower surface tan-brown (almost never white) in marginal parts, dark brown or black in central parts, with black, squarrosely branched rhizines. Upper cortex scleroplectenchymatous(cell lumina <2.5 µm); medulla white; lower cortex irregularly prosoplectenchymatous. Apothecia rare, lecanorine, up to 3 mm across, with a dark disc and a usually sorediate thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses slender, simple or forked in upper part, the apical cells clavate, with a thin, dark brown cap. 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, 26-32(-35) x 13-18(-20) µm, thickened at septum but not at apices, Physconia-type. Pycnidia rare, black, immersed. Conidia 4-6 x c. l µm. Spot tests: cortex, medulla and soralia K-, C-, KC-, P-, very rarely the soralia react K+ and KC+ faintly yellow. Chemistry: without lichen substances or very rarely soralia with variolaric acid.
