Synonyms: Blastenia assigena Arnold; Caloplaca asserigena (J. Lahm) Della Torre & Sarnth.; Caloplaca assigena (Arnold) Dalla Torre & Sarnth.; Streimanniella asserigena (J. Lahm) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, L. Lőkös & A. Thell
Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic or thinly episubstratic and continuous to cracked, grey (rarely brown or brownish black), forming small, up to 3(-7) mm (rarely more) wide patches, densely covered with apothecia. Apothecia common, often crowded, 0.2-0.5 mm across, with a flat, rusty-red to finally blackish, pruinose disc and a hardly raised, thin, irregular, finally excluded, grey-white margin. Epithecium brownish red, granular, K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless or yellowish, K- or K+ slightly purple, 50-60(-70) µm high; paraphyses branched in upper part, 1.5-2.5 µm thick at mid-level, the apical cells up to 4.5 µm wide; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, Teloschistes-type. Ascospores 2-celled, polarilocular, hyaline, ellipsoid, 9-14 x 5-7(-7.5) µm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 3-6 µm (1/3-1/4 of spore length). Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-; apothecial disc K+ purple-red. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances; apothecia with neochloroemodin.
