Punctelia jeckeri (Roum.) Kalb
(= P. ulophylla (Ach.) Herk & Aptroot)
Thallus foliose, grey-green when fresh, tinged brown and usually pruinose (lens needed) at the slightly upturned margins, grey when dry, underside pale brown, inner lobes developing marginal soralia, lobe surfaces with scattered, white dots (pseudocyphellae) that later also develop into soralia; apothecia apparently unknown. Evidently widespread and locally common on a variety of trees, but not distinguished from P. subrudecta until relatively recently.
