 Although the same species of "Niebla" can vary in a particular feature such as in its cortical ridge patterns, it may also retain other morphological and chemical taxonomic features at different locations; in this case, "Niebla marinii" has the wide angle branching (horseshoe-shaped branchlets) and prominent pycnidia at both locations, whereas "N. suffnessii" has inconspicuous pycnidia and long drawn-out branches at both locations.Sinuous cortical ridges are generally characteristic of the sekikaic-acid species "Niebla siphonoloba" throughout its geographical range, and it occurs frequently on Mesa Camacho.This species ("N. siphonoloba") is recognized by its simple stubby branches in addition to having sekikaic acid and a prominent reticulated (honeycomb-like) cortex.
