Protoparmelia oleagina (Harm.) Coppins
in Coppins & al., Lichenologist, 24: 368, 1992. Basionym: Lecanora oleagina Harm. - Lich. France: 1023, 1913.
Synonyms: Lecanora furva H. Magn.?
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, dull olivaceous brown, epruinose, continuous to rimose-areolate, densely covered in 0.07-0.15 mm wide and up to 0.4 mm high blastidia-like granules with a one cell-layer thick, rudimentary cortex, the upper granules forming by budding from those beneath. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine, up to 0.7 mm across, sessile, with a slightly concave to flat, olivaceous grey disc and a thick thalline margin even with disc. Epithecium brownish; hymenium colourless, c. 55 μm high; paraphyses coherent, branched in upper part, c. 2 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cell c. 3 μm wide; hypothecium colourless; algal layer incomplete below hypothecium. Asci 8-spored, clavate, approaching the Lecanora-type, with a well-developed amyloid tholus and a distinct, non-amyloid axial mass. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, oblong, 9.5-15 x 3-3.5 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-; thallus sections release oily exudates in K. Chemistry: traces of lobaric acid and unidentified substances.
