Vermilacinia leonis
''Vermilacinia leonis'' is a fruticose lichen usually found on branches of shrubs in the fog regions along the Pacific Coast of North America and South America; in North America it is found on the southern half of the main peninsula of Baja California north to the southern coast of the Vizcaíno Peninsula. In South America, it occurs on bushes and rocks in Chile; reported from Colchaqua (Valley) and Santiago 〔Spjut, R. W. 1996. ''Niebla'' and ''Vermilacinia'' (Ramalinaceae) from California and Baja California. Sida〕 The epithet is in regard to absence of the black transverse bands often seen in other species such as ''V. leopardina'', ''V. tigrina'' and ''V. zebrina''.
==Distinguishing Features==
''Vermilacinia leonis'' is classified in the subgenus Cylindricaria in which it is distinguished from related species by a flaccid to subflaccid thallus divided into numerous narrow cylindrical branches that produce soredia, powdery masses of green alga and white fungal cells that form in pincushion-like heads (capitate), also called soralia (soralium singular) because of their regular shape. The soredia erupt through a relatively thin cortex, 10–40 µm thick. The soralia are round in outline, and less than the width of the branch, in contrast to soralia in the related ''V. cephalota'' and ''V. zebrina'' that have a diameter greater than the width of the branch. The lichen substances include the usual triterpene zeorin and diterpene (-)-16-hydroxykaurane with or without salazinic acid and other unknowns may be present that include a T3 compound that is generally recognized as characteristic of the genus, and probably bourgeanic acid.
Two other sorediate species, described in the genus ''Niebla'', one of which is similar to some forms of ''V. cephalota'', was distinguished by dot-like (“punctiform”) soralia that develop on terminal acicular branchlets; another has a flattened thallus similar to ''Ramalina lacera'', but referred to ''Niebla'' by the presence of the depside methyl 3,5 dichlorolecanorate;〔Sipman, H.J.M. 2011. New and notable species of ''Enterographa'', ''Niebla'', and ''Sclerophyton s. lat.'' from coastal Chile. Bibliotheca Lichenologica 106: 297-308.〕 however, it reportedly lacks pycnidia,〔 generally present in all other species of ''Vermilacinia'' but not always in all thalli of a species (e.g., ''V. zebrina'').〔
