Leptogium pulvinatum (Hoffm.) Otálora

Thallus gelatinous, papery when dry, lobes reddish to dark brown, irregularly wrinkled, lacking isidia, margin fimbriate with small, flattened (not cylindrical) projections. A newly recognised species, formerly regarded as a fimbriate variant of L. gelatinosum, and with distribution uncertain but probably locally frequent amongst mosses in calcareous situations. Refs: Smith et al. (2009), 546 (under L. gelatinosum); Dobson (2005), 249 (photo only, as L. gelatinosum).
