Abstract

Toninia toepfferi (B. Steinerl Navás is a taxon scarcely considered in the Iiterature though it is very frequent in the terricolous Iichen communities in the Canary Islands. In this paper an anatomical and morphological study of this species is made which more relevant characters are: presence of pseudocyphelae in the upper part of squamules; cortex constituted by two stratum. the upper a hyaline epinecral layer and the lower is formed by anticlinally orientated hyphae; apothecia largely stipitate. This is the first time apothecia with a stipe are described in the genus Toninia, thus the status of this species inside the genus need more studies. some relationships with other members of the Lecideaceae are indicated. Its distribution is extended to other islands of the Canaries. except for Gomera. and ecological data are also given.
