in Prieto & al., Studies in Mycology, 109: 630, 2024.. Basionym: Arnoldia botryosa A. Massal. - Miscell. Lichenol.: 20, 1856.
Synonyms: Lempholemma botryosum (A. Massal.) Zahlbr.; Omphalaria botryosa (A. Massal.) Nyl.; Physma botryosum (A. Massal.) Zahlbr.; Plectopsora botryosa (A. Massal.) A. Massal.
Description: Thallus minutely subsquamulose to subcrustose, homoiomerous, gelatinous when wet, dark olivaceous brown to black, of isolated or aggregated, button-like areoles/squamules densely covered in small, entangled cylindrical lobules, often forming 1-2(-3) mm wide, umbilicate, sometimes marginally lobulate, convex cushions. Lobules up to 0.4 mm long, 0.15-0.2 mm wide, minutely longitudinally striate, with globose hormocystangia at the slightly swollen tips. Apothecia very rare, laminal, globose in section, half-immersed, hemiangiocarpic, developing from ascogones arising in a spheroid tangle of generative hyphae, with a pore-like disc, a thick thalline margin and a pale, thin proper margin. Proper exciple of parallel hyphae; epithecium brownish; hymenium and hypothecium colourless, the hymenial gel I+ reddish brown, K/I+ blue; paraphyses coherent, mostly simple, the apical cells not thickened. Asci 8-spored, broadly clavate, thin-walled, with a distinct amyloid outer cap, but no apical dome, Peccania-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 7-9 x 5-7 μm. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc), the individual cells 4-5 µm wide, arranged in short chains. Spot tests: all negative. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
