Cladonia rubrotincta Vtípilová, Timdal, Resl & Steinová
Lichenologist (2025): 7, 2025.
Synonyms: Cladonia norvegica auct. Ital.
Description: Primary thallus squamulose, the squamules usually persisting, small, 2-4 mm wide, deeply incised or narrowly lobed, green above, white beneath, often with bright red spots, sometimes sorediate along margins and on the lower side. Podetia bacilliform, slender, hollow inside, 1.5-2(-3) cm tall, usually cupless and pointed, rarely with very narrow cups in fertile specimens, pale green, grey-green or whitish, sometimes with red spots at base, the surface partly corticate and occasionally squamulose in basal parts, otherwise farinose-sorediate, the soredia 20-50 μm in diam. Apothecia rather rare, ochraceous or pinkish brown, subspherical, terminal. Asci 8-spored. Ascospores hyaline, ovoid to oblong, 12-15 x 3-4.5 μm. Pycnidia developing at tips of podetia, with a colourless jelly. Conidia hyaline, curved. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV+ bluish white. Chemistry: barbatic and 4-O-demethylbarbatic acids; rhodocladonic acid in the red spots on primary squamules and podetia (not in the apothecia!).
Growth form: Fruticose
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
