Ecological notes
The great variation in lobe morphology shown by P. faveolata, (possibly a response to differing ecological conditions, although there is no corresponding chemical variation) has resulted in an extensive synonymy with the taxa Sticta cellulifera Hook.f. & Taylor, S. impressa J.D. Hook. et Taylor, S. physcopspora Nyl., S. lorifera Stirton and Sticta elatior Stirt. being described between 1844 and 1900 for this polymorphic species. An excellent drawing (by Walter Fitch) of the round-lobed form (as Sticta faveolata var. cellulifera Church. Bab.) showing the deep faveolation, marginal, verruciform pseudocyphellae and the characteristic morphology of the pseudocyphellae of the lower surface with thick tomentum to margins, is given in Babington (loc. cit., pl. CXXIV).
