Pertusaria werneriana Boqueras

in Boqueras & Llimona, Mycotaxon 88: 489.2003.

Synonyms:

Distribution: S - Camp (Nimis & Tretiach 2004, as P. alpina - TSB 31860), Si (Ravera & al. 2024).

Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose-areolate in central parts, continuous in peripheral parts, pale greenish grey or yellow-green. Apothecia perithecioid, immersed in 1-2 mm wide, basally not constricted warts. 1-2 per wart, with a punctiform, pale disc. Epithecium colourless or very pale brown, K-, C-; hymenium colourless; paraphyses branched and anastomosing, poorly coherent. Asci 8-spored (rarely some asci 4-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, wih uniseriately arranged spores. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 45-60 x 25-30 µm, with a double and smooth wall. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ pale yellow, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: coronaton, 2'-O-methylperlatolic acid and confluentic acids.

Note: a species reported from Spain and Greece, resembling P. alpina but with a different chemistry and distribution, being restricted to warm-humid, mostly coastal sites in the Mediterranean belt; known from a humid gorge near the coast in Campania, perhaps more widespread, but certainly rare.
