Lecanora soralifera (Suza) Räsänen
Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., ser. A, 34: 84, 1931. Basionym: Lecanora intricata var. soralifera Suza - J. Sborn. Klub, prirod. Brno, 4: 17, 1922.
Synonyms: Lecanora efflorescens (Cromb.) Lettau; Lecanora polytropa f. efflorescens Cromb.
Distribution: N - Frl (Tretiach & Hafellner 2000), TAA (Pistocchi & al. 2026), Piem (Isocrono & al. 2003, Giordani & al. 2014).
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, pale yellow-green to green-grey, more rarely darkening to green-brown or green-black, areolate, forming more or less well-delimited, up to 2 cm wide patches. Areoles flattened, the marginal ones sometimes almost subsquamulose, often with crenulated margins, bearing 1-2 mm wide, laminal, discrete and circular to confluent, whitish to greenish white soralia which are usually slightly paler than thallus; soredia 30-50 µm. Apothecia rare, lecanorine, 0.2-0.5 mm across, sessile, with a flat to slightly convex, yellowish to green- or brown-black disc, and an entire to crenulate, finally excluded thalline margin. Epithecium brown, without crystals; hymenium colourless; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched in upper part, with slightly swollen apices; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 7-13 x 4-7 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ weakly yellow, C-, KC+ yellow, P-, UV+ dull orange. Chemistry: usnic acid, zeorin.Note: on iron-rich rocks, including pebbles, in upland areas; certainly more widespread in the Alps. A dubious record from Latium (see Nimis 1993: 369) is not accepted here.
