Taxonomy: "R. sophodes v. confragosa is the most distinguished form of this genus on the Western coast, occurring on rocks and on the earth, where the fruit attains to the largest size perhaps as yet noted (the width exceeding 2mm) and also on trees. From this the present is seen at once to differ in its biatorine exciple, and generally Lecideeine aspect. The disc, in severayl specimens, is more or less distinctly white-pruinose" (Tuckerman 1874: 20).
Note: Die Art kommt im westlichen Nordamerika vor und ist auch von den Kanaren gemeldet. Möglichweise handelt es sich bei diesen Exemplaren um Rinodina lindingeri, die auf den Kanaren und Madeira endemisch ist.
