Flavopunctelia (Parmelia) flaventior [more yellowish]. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A fairly
common large, pale yellow or more greenish lichen with broad,
rounded lobes and with localized small patches of soredia. The
surface of the thallus has scattered breaks in the cortex revealing
the white medulla (pseudo-cyphellae), hence the epithet
punctelia (spots). Usually this grows on bark, especially of
piñon pines, but occasionally on rock. A close relative, F.
soredica, has soredia only along the margins and lacks
pseudocyphellae. |
