Ramalina camptospora
ramalina, Ramalina
The sorediate R. camptospora possibly forms a species pair with the fertile R. puiggarii. Both species have thallus lobes that originate from a central holdfast, are sparingly, mostly dichotomously branched and neither contain secondary metabolites in their medulla. The lobes of R. camptospora are, however, basally angular and soon become flattened, whereas the lobes of R. puiggarii are very strongly canaliculate, rolled up and thus appear terete.
