Lessonia media sp. nov. ZuccareLLo & D’Archino ( Fig. 3 b View Fig )
Description: Attached by variabLe to massive rigid/robust haptera and muLtipLe stipes; with bLades emanating from the intercaLary meristem. BLades spLit ontogeneticaLLy. BLades paraLLeL; various widths, with or without wideLy spaced teeth; distinguished from L. variegata by bLades not being variegated ( Fig. 4 View Fig ). Reproduction as in L. variegata with sori on bLades. Distinguished from other species by the genetic regions: MitochondriaL: (1) the spacer between the tRNAs for tryptophan and isoLeucine (trn W-spacer), a partiaL sequence of the gene coding for nicotinamide adenine dinucLeotide (NADH) dehydrogenase subunit 6 (nad6); (2) partiaL cytochrome oxidase subunit I and 3) the spacer region between adenosine tri-phosphate dehydrogenase subunit 8 and tRNA serine (atp8-Sp); the chLoropLast regions: (1) the spacer between the Large and smaLL subunit of the ribuLose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxyLase/oxygenase gene (rbc -spacer) and (2) ribuLose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxyLase/oxygenase Large subunit gene (rbc L); the nucLear region covering the internaL transcribed spacers (1 and 2) between the smaLL and Large ribosomaL RNA subunits, and incLuding the 5.8S ribosomaL RNA (ITS) ( Martin & ZuccareLLo 2012, ZuccareLLo & Martin 2016).
EtymoLogy: Named for its middLe geographic position on the northeast coast of the South IsLand between Cape CampbeLL and Goose Bay, between the distribution of Lessonia variegata and L. meridionalis .
