Graphis subintermedians

The species was formally described in 2009 by Robert Lücking, following Mason Hale's earlier unpublished manuscript name. The type locality is Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, where the holotype specimen was collected by Hale and is housed at the United States National Herbarium (US). Graphis subintermedians is placed in a small group of taxa characterised by a laterally (blackened) , striate (finely lined) , a clear hymenium, and (multi-chambered) ascospores. It differs from the otherwise similar Graphis pseudoserpens in having larger ascospores, and within this group it is the only species that both lacks detectable secondary metabolites and has ascospores exceeding 60 × 16 μm. ==Description==

The thallus is (possessing a distinct outer ), smooth to uneven in texture, and white to pale grey in colour. The are to prominent, have a basal (rim of thallus tissue at the base), and are short and sparsely branched, measuring 1–3 mm long by 0.3–0.4 mm wide. Their edges () are striate. The excipulum is laterally carbonised, and the hymenium is clear (lacking oil droplets or ). Each ascus contains two large ascospores, which are hyaline, muriform, and measure 40–75 × 20–30 μm. ==Habitat and distribution==

No lichen secondary metabolites have been detected in this species. Graphis subintermedians is known from Sabah in Malaysian Borneo, where it grows on bark in forested habitats. ==See also==
