michel bertrandBonjour, Malgré de nombreuses recherches, je n'a
J'ai trouvé récemment, sur un vieux mur et parmi les mousses (Syntrichia ruralis & Bryum capillare) ce que je pense bien être Lamprospora dictydiola, que je n'avais jamais vu.
Pourriez-vous me confirmer cette identification ?
Grand merci d'avance !
Bernard
although ascospores (measurements taken from ascospores still in the asci?) are a bit too small I'd rather plead for L. tortulae-ruralis.
L. dictydiola is characterized by subglobose spores, ridges of the reticulum are not as broad as in your collection and meshes smaller and more numerous.
Cheers,
Marcel
Thank you very much for your reply! I did not know that there was also another species of Lamprospora related to Syntrichia muralis.
Kind regards,
Bernard
Hello Bernard,
Tortula (Syntrichia) muralis and ruralis are not the same, but look very different. L. dictydiola grows with T. muralis (as far as I know by heart), L. tortulae-rurarlis with T. ruralis.
The moss in your picture is T. ruralis (at least sensu lato).
Best, Lothar
You are quite right to point out this difference between the two Tortula, which is important, to choose the species of Lamprospora.
I asked for help from the best Belgian bryologist and he recognizes on my photo: Syntrichia montana, Syntrichia ruralis and Bryum capillare. Therefore OK for Lamprospora tortulae-ruralis.
Best regards,
Bernard
