Allographa grandis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[1] Found in Cameroon, it is characterised its large ascomata and Шаблон:Lichengloss (for which it is named), and an Шаблон:Lichengloss hymenium.

Taxonomy

Allographa grandis was first described by German lichenologist Klaus Kalb as a new species in 2020. The specific epithet, grandis, highlights the lichen's large ascomata and Шаблон:Lichengloss. The type specimen was discovered in the Begalanda Mountains near Nyangong Village in the Republic of Cameroon.[2]

Description

The thallus of Allographa grandis ranges from beige to greyish white in colour. Its surface is smooth and has a Шаблон:Lichengloss with a dull to slightly shiny appearance. The Шаблон:Lichengloss of this lichen are Шаблон:Lichengloss to prominent, possessing a complete whitish Шаблон:Lichengloss. They can be elongated, straight, curved, or Шаблон:Lichengloss, with lengths of up to 15 mm and widths of 1 mm.[2]

The ascomata of Allographa grandis are of the illinata-morph type, and its Шаблон:Lichengloss is apically Шаблон:Lichengloss. This lichen bears hyaline ascospores that turn slightly brownish with age. These richly Шаблон:Lichengloss spores measure 110–175 by 25–48 μm and have 40–50 by 8–12 septa. When treated with iodine, the spores exhibit a blue reaction.[2]

One of the key differences between Allographa grandis and the similar Graphis insulana is the Шаблон:Lichengloss type, which categorizes the species within the genus Allographa. No other species in this genus appears to be similar to A. grandis.[2]

Habitat and distribution

Allographa grandis is found growing on the bark of trees in pristine rainforests. Its type locality is situated at an elevation of Шаблон:Convert in the Begalanda Mountains near Nyangong Village, in the South Province of Cameroon.[2]

Chemistry

The chemical constituents of Allographa grandis include norstictic acid (major), connorstictic acid (minor), and subnorstictic acid (trace). These lichen products contribute to its unique characteristics and help distinguish it from other species.[2]
