Xanthoparmelia camtschadalis is a foliose lichen that belongs to the genus Xanthoparmelia. The lichen is also known as the Kamchatka rock-shield lichen.[2] The lichen was formally described as a new species in 1974 by American lichenologist Mason Hale.[3]
Description
The thallus is foliose and can grow up to 10 cm (4 in) in diameter. The upper surface of the thallus is yellowish-green to grayish-green in color, while the lower surface is black. The lichen produces apothecia, which are small, cup-shaped structures that contain the reproductive parts of the lichen. The apothecia are typically dark brown in color and can reach up to 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter.[4]
Habitat and range
The lichen is found in high elevation regions around the globe including the Rocky Mountains of North America and Mongolia.[5][6][7]
