Clathroporina wainiana is a species of crustose lichen in the family Trichotheliaceae. It was formally described as a new species in 1902 by German lichenologist Alexander Zahlbruckner. The type was collected by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel in the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden. [1] The species epithet honours Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio. [2]
Clathroporina wainiana has a greenish-brown thallus with coarse warty protuberances, and pseudostromata– stroma in which fungal cells and remnants of host tissue are mixed. Each of these structures has a single black-walled pseudothecium. The asci produce two colourless ascospores, each measuring 150–220 by 40–55 μm. [3]
