Enterographa incognita
Enterographa incognita is a little-known species of crustose lichen in the family Roccellaceae. Found in Southeast Thailand, it is characterised by its sorediate features and its distinct and. This lichen, only known to occur in its type locality, thrives on large trunks in a mangrove environment.
Taxonomy
Enterographa incognita was first described scientifically in 2014 by lichenologists Damien Ertz and Anders Tehler. The type specimen was discovered by the first author in Trat province, Thailand, in Ban Pak Khlong Nam Chiew mangrove on a large trunk.Description
Enterographa incognita has a crustose thallus that is completely sorediate and water-repellent. The soralia are 100–300 μm in diameter and densely cover the, often merging. The inner part of the soralia is white, containing abundant hyaline crystals that do not dissolve in a potassium hydroxide solution. The associated with this species is.The ascomata are and immersed in white. The ascospores usually have between 7 and 9 septa, and typical dimensions of 43.0–55.5 by 4–5 μm. These features help distinguish Enterographa incognita from other similar species. Conidiomata, however, have not been observed in this species.
