Summary, in English
Candelaria pacifica is formally described. It is currently
known from North and South America and Europe. The species is
characterized by a small, lobate thallus with soredia formed on the
lobe tips and along the margins. It has been confused with C. concolor
in Europe and North America, but differs in having 8-spored asci and
in lacking a lower cortex. Candelaria vulgaris, the type species of the
genus is confirmed to be a synonym to C. concolor.
