This area is a transition zone and has a forest predominantly comprising Psidium guajava, with some ancient Manchineel (Hippomane mancinella) trees.

The understory of the forest is dense, populated with species like Rubus niveus, Tournefortia rufosericea, and Zanthoxylum fagara.

The specimen was gathered from the bark on the south-exposed side of an inclined manchineel trunk, approximately 20 cm in diameter.

The species is characterised by the presence of soredia, which initially appear as coarse, corticated granules before merging into confluent and maculate (spotted) formations.

[2] The hymenium of the species reaches a height of 200–250 μm, is hyaline (translucent), strongly inspersed, and has an amyloid reaction.
