in Duby, Bot. Gall, 2: 579, 1830. Basionym: Peltidea hymenina Ach. - Meth. Lich.: 284, 1803.
Synonyms: Lichen polydactylus With. nom. illegit.; Peltigera lactucifolia auct. non (With.) J.R. Laundon; Peltigera polydactylon f. hymenina (Ach.) Flot.; Peltigera polydactylon var. crassoides Gyeln.
Distribution: N - Frl, TAA, Piem (Vitikainen 1994), Lig. C - Tosc (Loppi & al. 1994, 1997b). S - Camp (Catalano & al. 2016), Bas (Potenza 2006, Potenza & Fascetti 2012), Si (Alstrup 2004).
Description: Thallus foliose, broad-lobed, heteromerous and dorsiventral, grey to brownish when dry, blackish when wet, often somehow maculate, matt to glossy, loosely attached, forming up to 20 cm wide rosettes. Lobes elongate, flattened, contiguous, with rounded ends, 1-2 cm broad, with up-turned, undulate margins and a smooth, glabrous, upper surface. Lower surface largely pale ochre-coloured (darker only in central parts), with flat, broad, concolorous veins and pale, simple or fasciculate, up to 5 mm long rhizines. Upper cortex pseudoparenchymatous; medulla white; lower cortex absent. Apothecia frequent, saddle-shaped, terminal on short ascending lobes, brown. Paraphyses simple, distinctly thickened above. Asci 8-spored, fissitunicate, the thickened apex with a K/I+ blue ring, Peltigera-type. Ascospores 3-7-septate, hyaline turning pale brown at maturity, acicular, thin-walled, (47-)50-80(-90) x 3-5 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc, the cells not in long chains). Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, or medulla C+, KC+ pink. Chemistry: three chemotypes, with different combinations of tenuiorin, methyl gyrophorate, gyrophoric acid, peltidactylin, dolichorrhizin, traces of zeorin and of unidentified triterpenoids.Note: on mineral soil in open, but never fully sun-exposed habitats, often associated with mosses, with optimum in the montane belt, from the Alps to the mountains of Southern Italy.
