Phylloblastia is a genus of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichens in the family Verrucariaceae.[2] The genus was circumscribed in 1921 by Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio, with Phylloblastia dolichospora assigned as the type species.[3]
Description
Genus Phylloblastia comprises crustose lichens with sometimes very tiny, scale-like formations. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] of these lichens is either absent or very thin, structured in a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] manner. In species found outside of Europe, disc-shaped to shield-like isidia are often observed. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] component is typically [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], featuring green algal cells that are angular-rounded and grouped irregularly or in clusters.[4]
The ascomata, or spore-producing structures, are [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], which means they are [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (not on a stalk) and range from hemispherical to almost spherical in shape. These structures have colours from pale orange to black. While paraphyses (sterile filaments within the ascomata) are absent, [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (hair-like structures at the mouth of the perithecia) are usually present. The asci (spore-bearing cells) have a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] structure, meaning they have a double wall that splits to release spores.[4]
Typically, there are eight [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] per ascus. These spores are oblong to cylindrical in shape, with transverse or [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (divided in all three dimensions) septation, but without constrictions at the septa, and are colourless. The genus does not show the presence of [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (asexual reproductive structures). Chemical analysis using thin-layer chromatography has not detected any specific secondary metabolites (lichen products) in these lichens.[4]
