	Cladonia furcata TLC in eluent "C": Toluene + Acetic acid (20 ml + 3 ml) on a HPTLC plate Nano Adamant UV254, 5 x 5 cm; UV-365nm, after treatment with 10 % sulfuric acid.	1: Cladonia furcata, Wagner 121 5: Cladonia symphycarpa; Schumm 4698 + Platismatia glauca; Wagner 104 at = atranorin; no = norstictic acid; fp = fumarprotocetraric acid; ra = rangiformic acid C. rangiformis und C. furcata are difficult to distinguish, even with TLC. Because of the absence of Atranorin it was decided that we are seeing here C. furcata. Lit.: HUNECK, S., FEIGE, G. B. & SCHMIDT, J. 2004.
