Cetraria sepincola (Ehrh.) Ach.
Meth. Lich.: 297, 1803. Basionym: Lichen sepincola Ehrh. - Hannover Mag., 21: 203, 1783.
Synonyms: Cetraria scutata (Wulfen) Poetsch non auct.; Tuckermannopsis sepincola (Ehrh.) Hale
Description: Thallus foliose to subfruticose, almost monophyllous, often more thalli appearing together in colonies of small lobes radiating from the substrate, forming 1-2 cm wide, cushion-like tufts. Lobes olivaceous to dark brown, rather glossy, flattened, rounded at apex, up to 10 mm long (usually less), 2-3 mm broad, smooth to wrinkled; lower surface whitish or pale brown, with scattered, simple or sparingly branched rhizines. Upper and lower cortex prosoplectenchymatous, with a non-pored epicortex, the cell walls containing Cetraria-type lichenan; medulla white, rather loose. Apothecia very numerous and often obscuring the lobes, lecanorine, submarginal to terminal, up to 3.5(-4) mm across, with a reddish brown, glossy disc and a thin, smooth to crenulate margin often bearing scattered pseudocyphellae. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses coherent. Asci 8-spored, narrowly clavate, with a small axial body and a distinct, K/I+ blue ring-structure in the rather large tholus, approaching the Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 6-10 x (3.5-)5-7(-10) μm. Pycnidia black, mostly marginal, slightly projecting. Conidia dumbbell-shaped (enlarged at both ends), 5-7 x c. 1 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: medulla with lichesterinic and protolichesterinic acid.
