Ciri dan struktur
The species forms small, closely appressed rosettes (a placodioid thallus, with flat spreading from a center and hugging the rock). Compared with Candelina mexicana, Poelt noted that the thallus is usually much smaller; marginal lobes are up to about 2 mm long and 0.2–0.5(–1) mm wide, strongly flattened and tightly attached; the surface often has a more reddish-yellow cast and reacts K+ (red) in spot tests. The medulla (the inner, cottony tissue) is entirely white and lacks the yellow needles seen in C. mexicana. Apothecia are about 0.3–0.5 mm across, rather narrowly attached, with flat and to notched margins. The ascospores are narrowly ellipsoid, and measure 11–15 × 3.3–4.5 μm. The cortex conforms to the Candelina type: a thin layer capped by a dense, closely cemented band of yellow pigment , lacking the "peppered pigment hoods" and flaking hyaline coating that characterise Placomaronea; the medulla is white rather than hollow. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) shows pulvinic acid derivatives with several chemotypes; most tested specimens of C. submexicana react K+ (red) on the thallus (a few are only weakly K±), consistent with pulvinic series compounds detected on TLC.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
The species is confirmed from Mexico, the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico) and Peru (Department of Ica), based on examined herbarium material. It grows on exposed, non-calcareous rock in sunny, open sites, typically on horizontal to gently sloping faces in warm, dry regions, and the Peruvian gatherings are likewise from open, rocky habitats.
