Neoprotoparmelia capensis

Ciri dan struktur

Morphologically similar to the northern hemispheric Protoparmelia montagnei (Fr.) Poelt & Nimis, but mainly differing from it by the presence of alectoronic acid as major secondary metabolite in the medulla. The two species, P. montagnei and N. capensis, are also genetically not closely-related and belong to different genera. Thallus saxicolous, crustose, up to 8 cm wide, thin and areolate (in younger parts, up to 1 mm thick) to mainly thick and areolate, warted or subsquamulose (up to 2.2 mm thick), irregular or orbicular; surface light grey, pale to strong brown, with whitish mottled-fissured areas (by a locally strong mucilaginous epicortex), dull; delimited, or not, by a blackish hypothalline line. Areoles irregular, polygonal to rounded, up to 2 mm in diam., mainly slightly convex to irregular or flat, surface smooth to irregular, cracked or warted, marginal areoles sometimes lobe-like. Apothecia frequent, 1 to several per areolae, zeorine to lecanorine, immersed and nearly urceolate when young to adnate or sessile and constricted at the base when adult, rounded to irregular, up to 2 mm in diam.; disc brown to brown-black, dull, concave to flat or sometimes convex; thalline exciple persistent or excluded with age, concolorous with thallus to whitish (by a strong mucilaginous epicortex); proper exciple cupulate, up to 70–155 µm thick, coherent, hyphae mainly periclinal with strong mucilaginous walls, margins reduced in young apothecia. Hymenium hyaline to yellowish, coherent, 60–75 µm tall, in the margins somewhat fan-like (together with proper exciple) and exceeding the thalline exciple in adult apothecia; epihymenium light brown to brown, up to 15 µm tall, with few irregular granules; hypothecium and subhymenium hyaline to slightly yellowish, 25–70 µm thick.
