Nododendrina incomposita (Mägdefrau, 1937)

Taxon description

Wisshak, 2017

Emended diagnosis: Prostrate branches diverge from a small and irregularly shaped central node, ramify at various angles, and exhibit an irregular surface texture. Density of branching varies and anastomosis or complete fusion is common.
