TY - JOUR A1 - Marcano, Vicente A1 - Palacios-Prü, Ernesto A1 - Morales, Antonio T1 - Pseudohepatica duidensis : a new lichen from the Venezuelan Amazonas T2 - Tropical bryology N2 - The species Pseudohepatica duidensis Marcano, Palacios & Morales is described from the Venezuelan Amazonas. Special attention has been paid to the morphology and the chemistry (e.g. polysaccharides and secondary compounds), using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thin-layer chromatography (TLC, HPTLC) and iodine reagent tests. Pseudohepatica duidensis is characterized by a very small (to 1 mm long), yellowish-green thallus, non-pored epicortex, yellowish lower surface with soredial protuberances, paraplectenchymatous upper cortex consisting of strongly sclerotic cells, cell walls with iodine reactions characteristic of lichenan and gyrophoric acid as relevant chemical constituent. N2 - Se describe la especie Pseudohepatica duidensis Marcano, Palacios & Morales procedente del Amazonas Venezolano. Una atención especial es puesta en la morfología y en la química (e.g. polisacáridos y compuestos secundarios), utilizando microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), cromatografía de capa fina (TLC, HTLC) y pruebas con reactivos de yodo. Pseudohepatica duidensis está caracterizada por presentar un talo pequeño (hasta 1 mm de largo), verdo-amarillento, epicortex no-poreado, superficie inferior amarillenta mostrando protuberancias sorediales, y cortex superior paraplectenquimatoso consistiendo de células fuertemente esclerotizadas, paredes celulares con reacciones de yodo características de liquenina, y ácido girofórico como constituyente químico relevante.
