Parmotrema clavuliferum ( $R{ ddot{a}}s{ ddot{a}}nen$ ) Streimann and P. reticulatum (Taylor) M. Choisy (Parmeliaceae, lichenized Ascomycotina) have similar morphological characters such as wide lobes with soralia, reticulate-maculate on upper surface of lobes, and marginal cilia. In addition, they both produce salazinic acid and atranorin as major chemical substances. These similar properties found in both species have led to confusion in recognizing them as distinct species; however, P. clavuliferum is distinguished from the latter by capitate soralia on short laciniae which are always mottled white and by the production of fatty acid and gyrophoric acid together with salazinic acid. In addition, the most likely phylogenetic tree of these species shows that they are nested in well-supported monophyletic groups. Therefore, it is reasonable to recognize them as two separate species, P. clavuliferum and P. reticulatum. |
