Coniarthonia pyrrhula

Ciri dan struktur

The body (thallus) is a thin, spreading crust that is whitish to greenish gray and may be inconspicuous or partly disrupt the bark surface; it is usually bordered by reddish-brown boundary lines (). The algal partner () is from the green algal genus Trentepohlia, with oval (ellipsoid) cells arranged in short chains. The fruiting bodies (ascomata) develop in the outermost bark layers and may be partly covered by a thin bark film when young. They are irregularly rounded to elongated and often forked, with poorly defined margins, and they sit level with the thallus as flat, crimson-red patches with a powdery () surface. In cross-section they are about 70–120 μm thick. Under the microscope, the uppermost tissue layer () is packed with crimson crystals and is only weakly gelatinized (described as water-repellent), with a largely colorless (hyaline) spore-bearing layer (hymenium) beneath. The tissue below the hymenium () also contains red crystals, but less densely. The asci are widely dispersed, nearly spherical (subglobose), and each contains eight ascospores. The ascospores are colorless, oval to pear-shaped (ellipsoid to ), typically with 6–7 transverse septa (rarely with an additional longitudinal one), measuring about 34–40 × 13–17 μm. In chemical tests, the crimson pigments dissolve in K (potassium hydroxide solution), giving a purplish-orange reaction. Grube characterised several purplish pigment fractions (Pyr1–Pyr3) by thin-layer chromatography from the fruiting bodies.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

Coniarthonia pyrrhula is an epiphytic, bark-dwelling lichen reported from bark of angiosperms. Its range spans North, Central, and South America, with additional records from Macaronesia. Because it is often collected in a sterile or poorly fertile state, it can be confused with C. gregarina when mature asci and spores are absent.
