Caloplaca bartlettii

Caloplaca bartlettii is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. [1] It is found in Tasmania and New Zealand, where it grows on coastal rock outcrops.

Taxonomy

The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2009 by lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk and Ingvar Kärnefelt. The type specimen was collected from Kapowairua, a locality at the eastern end of Spirits Bay ( North Island), where it was found growing on coastal rocks above sea level. The species epithet honours New Zealand botanist John Bartlett, who collected the type species in 1984. [2]

Description

The crustose, areolate thallus is 3–10 mm (0.1–0.4 in) wide (although neighbouring lichens will often coalesce to form larger patches), with a greenish-yellow to whitish or greyish-yellow colour. The main identifying field characteristic of Caloplaca bartlettii are its densely aggregated, mostly biatorine apothecia. Microscopically, another characteristic of the lichen are the large bermaguina-type oil droplets in its paraphyses. Parietin is the major lichen product that occurs in the species. [2]
