Graphis subserpentina
Nylander (1863: 465)
.
Type
:—
SRI LANKA
[Ceylon].
Gardner
s.n.
(H-Nyl. 8012!,
holotype
)
.
Thallus corticolous, whitish gray to grayish green, continuous, smooth to uneven, thinly corticate, dull or slightly glossy. Lirellae erumpent, with thick lateral thalline margin, elongate, up to
6 mm
long, straight, curved or sinuous, simple or irregularly branched, labia convergent, entire, black, not pruinose, disc concealed, (
subserpentina-
morph). Exciple laterally carbonized; hymenium clear; ascospores 1/ascus, hyaline, densely muriform, with 16–28 transverse septa and 2–5 longitudinal septa, 65–110 × 20–30 μm, halonate; 18–25 × 3–5-septate, 60–95 × 15–25 μm (Patwardhan & Kulkarni on annotation slip attached to the
type
); 57–110 × 20–26 μm (Awasthi on annotation slip attached to the
type
); 80–130 × 20–35 μm (
Lücking
et al.
2009
).
Chemistry: norstictic acid (major) (anal.
K
. Kalb).
Distribution and habitat
:—Widely distributed within the palaeotropics and within
Thailand
, reported from
Madagascar
(
Aptroot & Sparrius 2008
–present),
India
,
Sri Lanka
(
type
locality),
Malaysia
(
Lücking
et al.
2009
, as
Graphis adtenuans
Nyl.
),
Singapore
(
Lücking
et al.
2009
, as
Phaeographina alutacea
Zahlbr.
),
Indonesia
, the
Solomon Islands
,
Fiji
, Hawaii and
Australia
(Archer 2009). For
Thailand
, it was first reported by
Nakanishi
et al.
(2001)
from
Chiang Mai province
, later by
Poengsungnoen
et al.
(2010)
, from
Loei province
and most recently by
Pitakpong
et al.
(2015)
from
Ubon Ratchathani province
. It was collected from bark of various trees, including
Thea
sp.
and
Areca catechu
, in hill evergreen forests, dry dipterocarp forests, lower montane scrubs, secondary rainforests and plantations from 20 up to
700 m
elevation.
Remarks
:—Very usual in species with large ascospores is the rather great variation of spore size even within the same specimen (see above).The distribution of this species given in
Nakanishi
et al.
(2001)
must be interpreted with care, because the authors had included
G. insulana
as a synonym of
G. subserpentina
. But both can however easily be separated by the inspersed hymenium of
G. insulana
.
