Ciri dan struktur
The lichen body (thallus) is a thin, whitish crust with a faint greenish tinge that develops in the upper bark layers. It is spreading and typically bordered by dark reddish-brown boundary lines ( lines); the surface looks slightly powdery. The algal partner () is from the filamentous green algal genus Trentepohlia, with oval (ellipsoid) cells arranged in short chains. The fruiting bodies (ascomata) are scattered and usually irregularly spot-like rather than distinctly elongated, mostly 0.24–1.4 mm across but occasionally reaching 1.8 mm. They lie more or less level with the thallus, becoming slightly convex, and are densely frosted with crimson pigment (). Under the microscope, the outer wall () is poorly defined. The uppermost tissue layer () contains abundant crimson crystals (with a smaller amount of colorless crystals) and is described as water-repellent (hydrophobic), while the spore-bearing layer (hymenium) below has fewer crystals. The asci are widely dispersed and may contain 4, 6, or 8 spores. The ascospores are colorless (hyaline), oval to pear-shaped (ellipsoid to ), and 4-celled (3-septate), often surrounded by a gelatinous sheath that swells in KOH (potassium hydroxide solution). The reddish pigments dissolve in K (KOH solution) and give a purplish-orange reaction, and Grube reported several pigment fractions (Pyr1–Pyr3 and Hae2) detected by thin-layer chromatography, plus an additional trace pigment.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Coniarthonia wilmsiana is an epiphytic, lichen-forming species on smooth bark. It has been reported from Martinique, Central America, South America, southern Africa, and Australia, indicating a broadly tropical to southern-hemispheric distribution. Based on documented collections and Grube's remarks, it can occur in relatively open sites and may tolerate drier conditions, and it appears to be more common than the sparse literature might suggest (similar in that respect to the type species of the genus, C. pyrrhula).
