in Lumbsch & Elix, Mycotaxon, 33: 453, 1988. Basionym: Lichen acetabulum Neck. - Delic. Gallo-Belg. Silv., 2: 506, 1768.
Synonyms: Imbricaria acetabulum (Neck.) DC.; Melanelia acetabulum (Neck.) Essl.; Parmelia acetabulum (Neck.) Duby; Parmelia corrugata (Sm.) Ach.; Pleurosticta lichenicola Petr.
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, broad-lobed, forming very large, 10-20(-35) cm wide rosettes. Lobes (0.5-)1-1.5(-2.5) cm wide, with rounded and ascending, wavy margins, matt to slightly shiny in marginal parts, olive-brown to dark bluish green, turning green when wet, often warted or wrinkled in thallus center and white-pruinose at lobe tips, with numerous black dots (pycnidia) especially along the margins. Lower surface black-brown in central parts, pale brown at margins, with simple rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls containing isolichenan, N+ violet; medulla white; lower cortex paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia common, lecanorine, urceolate, 0.5-2 cm across, sessile to shortly stalked, with a concave to flat, brown disc and a wavy, strongly rugose thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, (10-)12-17 x (6.5-)7-9(-10.5) µm. Pycnidia common and often very abundant, laminal, immersed, appearing as black dots, globose in section, the wall colourless except around ostiole. Conidia colourless, bacilliform, 5-8 x c. 1 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex: K- or K+ faintly yellow, C-, KC-, P-, N+ violet; medulla: K+ yellow turning red (needle-like crystals), C-, KC-, P+ orange, UV-. Chemistry: medulla with norstictic and connorstictic acids.
