Kurokawia palmulata

Ciri dan struktur

Kurokawia palmulata is recognisable by its foliose thallus, which is typically and can grow up to 9 – 10 cm in diameter. The colour varies from brownish-grey to tan-brown. Its are elongated and linear, branching irregularly, and they remain mostly flat at the ends. Unlike some other lichens, Kurokawia palmulata does not possess soredia or isidia. However, it often develops lateral secondary . The lichen's lower surface starts off white or off-white and gradually darkens to a tawny or light brown shade. A noticeable feature is the superimposed layer of hyphae, which does not carry rhizines. Commonly, Kurokawia palmulata will present with apothecia, which are laminal and can grow up to 4 mm in diameter. The chemical spot test reactions of the lichen often reveal a K+ (yellow) reaction on the upper surface, making it distinctive. The presence of variolaric acid has also been observed. However, the strength and prominence of these reactions can vary between specimens.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

Endemic to eastern North America and eastern Asia, Kurokawia palmulata has been found to have a strong affinity for the bark of hardwood trees. However, it can also establish itself on rock surfaces, either directly or overlying mosses. The species is particularly prevalent in areas corresponding to the eastern deciduous forest. Additionally, a correlation has been noted between the geographical distribution of the lichen and the of its rhizines – specimens from the southern range tend to have less squarrose rhizines compared to those from the north. Its North America range was extended considerably when it was recorded from Ohio–the first report from western North America. Its range extends north to southern Ontario, and the coniferous old-growth forests of southwestern Nova Scotia in Canada.
