Sticta catharinae

Ciri dan struktur

Differing from other Sticta species in having a stipe, up to 1 cm long, a palmate thallus with abundant, submarginal to laminal apothecia, with the primary tomentum absent in the marginal parts of the thallus and a secondary tomentum present. Primary photobiont cyanobacterial (Nostoc). Stipe present, up to 1 cm long. Thallus palmate, up to 10 cm diam., moderately branched, with 3–5 branches per 5 cm radius, branching anisotomous to pleurotomous; lobes suborbicular to flabellate, interspaced to adjacent, involute, with their apices rounded and plane and their margins entire to sinuous, not thickened; lobe internodes (4–)6–15(–20) mm long, (6–)10–10(–20) mm broad; thallus coriaceous. Upper surface smooth to shallowly rugose in some parts, brown-grey, darker in the margins, shiny; surface glabrous, without papillae and pruina, without maculae; marginal cilia abundant, agglutinated to fasciculated, dark brown with pale tips, up to 0.5 mm long. Apothecia abundant, principally submarginal to laminal, dispersed, subpedicellate, sessile, up to 1.5 mm diam.; disc reddish-brown, shiny (in young apothecia) to matt (in older); margin entire to weakly crenate, excipulum hairs few to dense. Vegetative propagules absent. Lower surface folded to distinctly ridged and forming a reticulate pattern especially towards the margins, yellowish-brown to brown towards the centre; primary tomentum scarce, absent in the marginal part of the thallus, fasciculate, soft, golden brown; secondary tomentum present, arachnoid, up to 25 μm. Rhizines absent. Cyphellae 1–20 per cm 2 towards the thallus centre and 21–40 per cm 2 towards the margin, scattered, irregular to elongate or rounded, urceolate with narrow to wide pore, prominent, on the same level as the primary tomentum or below, with the margin raised and involute to raised and involute-circinate, brown coloured, with or without tomentum; pore (0.25–)0.5–1(–2) mm diam.; basal membrane smooth, white, K+ yellowish, C–, KC –, Pd –.
