Synonyms: Buellia jorgei Samp.; Buellia zahlbruckneri J. Steiner non sensu T. Schauer
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, smooth to rimose, white to whitish grey, often delimited by a black prothalline line. Medulla white, lacking calcium oxalates, I- Apothecia lecideine, black, (0.3-)0.5-1.2(-1.6) mm across, sessile, with a flat to convex, often pruinose disc, and an initially thick, later thinner and finally excluded proper margin. Proper exciple well developed, 80-125 μm wide in lower part, brown throughout, Dispersa-type, of radially arranged hyphae, the inner part of long-celled, parallel, strongly agglutinated and thick-walled hyphae, the outer part of short-celled, isodiametric hyphae without intercellular spaces, N-, K+ yellow or K+ yellow then red (red crystals); epithecium brown, N-, in pruinose specimens inspersed with crystals reacting K+ red; hymenium colourless, not inspersed with oil droplets, (80-)100-110 µm high; paraphyses simple to sparingly branched, the apical cells slightly swollen, 2-4 μm wide, with a dark cap. Asci 8-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, 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, not constricted at septum, brown, ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid with rounded apices, not curved, (10-)13-18(-20) x (6-)7-8.5(-9.5) µm, Physconia-type when young, Buellia-type when mature, with a rough to faint microrugulate ornamentation. Pycnidia rare, black, immersed. Conidia bacilliform, 6-9 x 0.5-1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K+ yellow or K+ yellow-orange turning red, C-, KC-, P- or P+ faintly yellow, UV-. Chemistry: chemotype 1) atranorin, norstictic and connorstictic acids, plus traces of salazinic and hyposalazinic acids, zeorin and an unknown secalonic acid derivative; chemotype 2) atranorin, traces of norstictic and connorstictic acids, and of a secalonic acid derivative.
