N. Giorn. Bot. Ital., n. ser., 9: 462, 1902.
Synonyms: Ramalina calicaris f. fibrillosa Th. Fr.; Ramalina calicaris var. nervosa (Nyl.) Räsänen; Ramalina fastigiata var. nervosa Nyl.; Ramalina landroënsis Zopf; Ramalina nervosa (Nyl.) Räsänen
Description: Thallus fruticose, straw-coloured to greenish, flaccid when wet, with more or less scattered, erect or hanging laciniae growing from a basal holdfast. Laciniae often monophyllous, fan-shaped, up to 5 cm long (usually less), to 2(-3) cm wide at apex, simple or palmately divided, flattened, rather thin, slightly dorsiventral. Upper surface longitudinally or reticulately wrinkled, with elevated chondroid strands; lower surface paler than the upper one, with more or less longitudinally oriented, anastomosing low
ridges and white, decorticate intercalary interstices (pseudocyphellae), especially towards the holdfast but sometimes throughout the entire surface. Cortex 2-layered, the outer part paraplectenchymatous, the inner part of cartilaginous chondroid strands; medulla white, compact. Apothecia lecanorine, laminal or subterminal, 3-10 mm across, with a flat to convex, greenish disc and a concolorous, ridged-reticulate thalline margin. Epithecium pale brownish-olive; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses thick-walled, richly branched in upper part. Asci 8-spored, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass), the wall I-, but the thin outer gel I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores 1-septate, hyaline, ellipsoid, straight or curved, 12-17 x 6-7 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC- or KC+ pale yellow (cortex only), P-, UV-. Chemistry: cortex with usnic acid; medulla without lichen substances (traces of atranorin reported from N America).
