Clauzadeana macula (Taylor) Coppins & Rambold


Crust a dominant, black prothallus, supporting minute (<1mm diam.) pale brown to shining reddish-brown areoles but seeming uniformly black except on close examination; apothecia with thin, thalline margins and black discs, sunk in the areoles (compare Schaereria fuscocinerea). Very local on hard, exposed, generally base-poor upland rocks.
