Lepraria vouauxii (Hue) R.C.Harris
(= Leproloma vouauxii (Hue) J.R.Laundon)
Thallus a pale to greyish-green, diffuse, rather thick, granular crust, margins variably delimited and sometimes minutely lobate, granules often eroding to expose a white medulla; apothecia unknown. On nutrient-rich bark and stonework in shaded and sheltered situations, widespread but more common in the south and east. The photographed material is on a wall somewhat sheltered from direct rain but where water seeps down. The thallus lobes are generally indistinct but well developed adjacent to the rain channels.
