Ciri dan struktur
The thallus begins as a roughly circular, leaf-like patch on bark and later expands into irregular colonies up to 5 cm across. Its primary are narrow, flat, and repeatedly branched, usually 0.2–0.4 mm wide, with gaps between them; the tips are often forked and somewhat ascending. A second set of even narrower lobes rises from the first and branches freely, giving the lichen a layered, almost shrubby appearance. When wet, the upper surface is blue-green, but when dry it becomes brownish, greenish, or lead-gray and is usually marked by fine white longitudinal lines. The underside is pale and bears numerous white rhizines that project beyond the margins. Small rounded may sometimes develop within the thallus, and apothecia are uncommon, usually central, orange-brown structures up to 3 mm across that become convex with age. The ascospores are more or less spherical and about 4–5 μm in diameter. No lichen substances were detected by thin-layer chromatography.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Coccocarpia prostrata is chiefly a species of humid to very wet forests, growing on bark and occasionally on rock, often among mats of mosses and liverworts. It has also been reported growing lichenicolously on Parmotrema. Although most strongly associated with submontane and montane elevations, the ecological analysis in the original species description showed a broader range, from lowland and foothill sites up to upper montane and subparamo habitats. The species is widely distributed in the Neotropics and extends into the southeastern United States. Outside Costa Rica, the describing authors cited specimens from the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, French Guiana, Brazil, Bolivia, and Florida. In Colombia it has been reported from the departments of Caldas, Chocó, and Risaralda at 168–1,700 m elevation, chiefly in humid, exposed, and often disturbed habitats around 1,000 m, where it grows on bark including that of Mangifera indica. A Bolivian survey of the order Peltigerales recorded it from the departments of Cochabamba, La Paz, and Santa Cruz at about 1,120–2,800 m, on both bark and rock in Yungas montane forests. It has also been recorded from Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos and, in the United States, from the Ocala National Forest in Florida, including the Mormon Branch Research Natural Area in Lake County, north of Orlando.
