16* Moist thallus not gelatinous . 17<br />

concrete . 18<br />

17* <strong>Lichens</strong> on other substrates 19<br />

18 Thallus without rhizines, in the main attached to<br />

divided deeply into many or few narrow lobes,<br />

usually with soralia or isidia GS Physcia<br />

19 Thallus in the main only attached by a ± centrally<br />

located post (navel) on (silicate) rock, otherwise<br />

21 Thallus lobes welded into one almost schield-like<br />

thallus, closely attached, gray-blue, <strong>of</strong>ten with<br />

filamentous prothallus, with bluegreen algae.<br />

Extremely rare, on high oceanic habitats . Degelia<br />

21* Thallus otherwise . 22<br />

22 Thallus lobes arched at the ends into flat to<br />

saddle form, undersides free ap., generally at<br />

least 2 mm wide, undersides with veins or hairy<br />

or bald. With bluegreen algae, rarely with green<br />

algae, then the thallus in the moist state deep<br />

green . 23<br />

22* Thallus lobes without such terminal ap. . 24<br />

23 Ap. on the upper side <strong>of</strong> the usually ascending<br />

lobes, flat or saddle form. Underside with coarse,<br />

branched and reticulate veins as well as with<br />

tufted rhizines or scattered long single rhizines,<br />

rarely uniformly felty, without cortex. Sp.<br />

narrow spindle like to needle form, four to many<br />

celled cross septate, brown, at least 30µm long .<br />

Peltigera<br />

23* Ap. on the underside <strong>of</strong> the lobes, but <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

wrinkled, bald or velvety hairy, beige, pale<br />

brown, rarely to black-brown, with cortex. Sp. 4celled,<br />

25 Ap. sunken in definite rough depressions <strong>of</strong> the<br />

thallus, without thalloid margin. Thallus gray,<br />

green when moist, at times developed as only a<br />

ring around the ap., with green algae, in addition<br />

with bluegreen algae in parts <strong>of</strong> the thallus. Sp.<br />

27 Underside <strong>of</strong> the thallus with stout, branched and<br />

reticulate, raised veins as well as isolated to<br />

usually bushy rhizines, without cortex, therefore<br />
