Physciella chloantha

Ciri dan struktur

Physciella chloantha typically forms rounded units up to about 3 cm in diameter, comprising numerous, discrete ascending . These lobes, which measure 0.5–1.5 mm across, can coalesce to cover large areas, often blending with other species. They range from short and rounded to somewhat elongate and frequently ascend at the tip, especially when sorediate. The thallus is characterised by numerous marginal and terminal, (lip-shaped) soralia, and sometimes scattered laminal soralia that develop over time. The lower surface of the lichen is white to pale tan, featuring sparse, similarly coloured rhizines. The placement of these rhizines varies considerably across specimens. Apothecia (fruiting bodies) are rare in this species, measuring up to 1 mm in diameter, and may be sessile or very shortly stipitate with an entire or irregularly (scalloped) margin. The spores are typical of the Physcia-type, measuring 17–22.5 by 8–11 μm, with that often become rounded with age. Conidia are ellipsoid, measuring 2.5–3.5 by 1 μm. Physciella chloantha is often confused with its close relative, Physciella melanchra, which primarily differs in having mainly laminal soralia and being somewhat larger on average. Specimens of Physciella chloantha with well-developed laminal soralia must be carefully distinguished from Physciella melanchra, particularly as they sometimes coexist in the same habitats.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

Physciella chloantha, once overlooked in North America, is quite common in some parts of its range. It was previously mapped under the synonym Physcia luganensis in North America. This species has also been reported in southern and south-central Europe, as well as Japan. It predominantly inhabits bark but is also found on rock surfaces. The lichen's distribution includes diverse regions, from the Upper Midwest of the US to parts of Europe and Japan, Pakistan, and European Russia.
