Syncesia madagascariensis is a rare species of crustose lichen in the family Roccellaceae. Found in Madagascar, it was formally described as a new species in 2010 by Damien Ertz, Dorothee Killmann, Tahina Razafindrahaja, Emmanuël Sérusiaux, and Eberhard Fischer. The type specimen was collected south of Ambositra in Ankazomivady ( Ambalamanakana) at an altitude of 1,705 m (5,594 ft). It is only known to occur at the type locality, where it grows on tree trunks in a montane forest of mostly Myrtaceae and Syzygium. [1]
The lichen has a crustose, water-repellent thallus that is creamy with a greenish tinge and measures up to 15 cm (6 in) in diameter. The photobiont partner is green algae from genus Trentepohlia; their cells are 7–14 by 6–10 μm. The ascospores have 5 septa, which distinguishes this species from others in genus Syncesia, whose spores typically have 3 septa. Syncesia madagascariensis contains protocetraric acid as a major metabolite, and trace amounts of what is probably roccellic acid. [1]
