Lecidea aptrootii is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecideaceae. [1] It is found in northwestern Pakistan, where it grows on exposed siliceous rocks. The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Memoona Khan, Abdul Khalid, and H. Thorsten Lumbsch. The type specimen was collected in the Gabin Jabba valley ( Swat District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,200 ft). This area has a moist temperate climate, with snowfall during winter and much rainfall during summer. The species epithet honours Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot, who suggested to the authors that the taxon might represent a new species. [2]
