Ramalina cf. decipiens - On volcanic rock. TLC: divaricatic acid (5 specimens). Morphologically resembling R. tingitana, but more strongly striate, and less narrowly lobed than typical R. decipiens. The group is under investigation by Israel Pérez-Vargas (La Laguna, Canary Islands, Spain).

Ramalina erosa Krog - On volcanic rock. Similar to R. requienii by the production of corticate granules, but thallus lobes narrower, thicker and more strongly striate. ITS sequences confirmed the difference.

Ramalina subwebbiana (Nyl.) Hue - On volcanic rock. TLC: salazinic acid (1 specimen tested). Probably not specifically distinct from R. decipiens. Of three available ITS sequences two fit inside R. decipiens and one near R. maderensis.

Ramalina tingitana - On volcanic rock and epiphytic, the commonest epilithic species on Porto Santo. TLC: divaricatic acid, terpenoids (19 specimens tested). The specimens are morphologically like R. cupularis and R. bourgeana. However, they are different from both by their chemistry and their more or less striate thalli. Their ITS sequences show them to fall apart in two groups, a fertile morph of R. requienii and a chemotype of R. maderensis with divaricatic acid.
