Caloplaca anularis Clauzade & Poelt
Herzogia, 2: 305, 1972.
Synonyms: Caloplaca scrobiculata auct. eur. non H. Magn.
Description: Thallus crustose-placodioid, episubstratic, orange-yellow, to 400 μm thick, with a characteristic centrifugal growth: the thalli start dying and rapidly fall off 2-4 mm from the growing lobe-tips, leaving a 4-6 mm wide ring of 0.3-1 mm wide, contiguous, convex lobes, the free central part being often re-colonized by younger thalli, which produces a series of concentric rings; more rarely the thalli remain rosulate, in which case they produce apothecia. Upper cortex prosoplectenchymatous, 60-140 μm thick, the upper part with many small orange crystals of anthraquinones; medulla white, up to 200 μm thick, densely filled with colourless crystals visible under polarized light; algal layer 70-150 μm thick, continuous or sometimes interrupted by cortex cones extending downwards; lower cortex poorly developed, forming a sort of hypothallus. Apothecia zeorine, 0.5-1.2 mm across, with a more or less flat, orange-yellow disc and a thin, often finally excluded margin. Epithecium brownish orange, K+ purple-red: hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, functionally unitunicate, apically thickened with a broad internal beak, the inner part of apex and external cap I+ blue, Teloschistes-type. Ascospores 2-celled, polarilocular, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid to narrowly rhomboid, (14-)15.5-17.5(-20.5) x (5-)5.7-7(-9) μm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) (1.25-)1.6-1.9(-2.25) μm. Pycnidia immersed, orange. Conidia 3-4.5 x 1-1.5 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K+ purple-red, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus and apothecia with unidentified anthraquinones.
