Jamesiella dacryoidea is a thin, translucent grey-colored, teardrop-shaped lichen species that is differentiated from other species of Jamesiella by its color and shape. [1] This lichen grows on rocks near bodies of saltwater, typically on top of bryophytes. [1] Jamesiella dacryoidea is found on the southeast coast of Alaska and was discovered in Petersburg Borough, Alaska. [1] This species is named after its teardrop shape, as dacryoideus in Latin means tear-shaped. [1]
Description
Jamesiella dacryoidea has a broad, flat body with a pointed or rounded tip and transparent, grey-green, and then brown coloration. [1] The hyphae of this lichen are located in parallel with the meristem. [1] This lichen also contains green photosynthetic algae within the thallus and between the hyphae. [1]
