Pertusaria flavicans Lamy
Bull. Soc. Bot. France, 25: 427, 1878.
Synonyms: Pertusaria sulphurea Schaer. p.p. nom. illegit.
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rather thick, yellowish to greyish green, rimose-areolate, forming large patches, sometimes delimited by a pale prothallus, sorediate, , the areoles flat to convex, 0.5-1.5(-2) mm wide. Soralia 0.4-1.2 mm across, at first orbicular, then often confluent, yellowish green (paler than thallus); soredia coarsely to finely granular, 35-90 μm. Apothecia rare, lecanorine, immersed in thalline warts, with an initially punctiform, later expanded disc. Epithecium K+ violet; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, broadly cylindrical, the apex with a broad ocular chamber, the outer sheath K/I+ blue, otherwise K/I-, with an inner extensible layer, Pertusaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 60-75 x 20-30 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and soralia K-, C+ orange, KC+ orange, P-, UV+ orange (soralia UV+ brighter orange), UV+ orange. Chemistry: thiophaninic acid and variable amounts of O-methylmonochlornorlichexanthone.
Growth form: Crustose
Substrata: rocks
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)
Poorly known taxon in need of further study
