Xanthoparmelia plittii is a lichen which belongs to the Xanthoparmelia genus.
Description
Xanthoparmelia plittii grows to around 4-10 cm in diameter with irregularly lobate lobes which are approximately 0.5-2 mm wide. The upper surface of the lichen is yellow-green with a smooth and shiny surface. While the lower surface being pale or medium brown in color with moderate to densely packed rhizinate anchoring the lichen to the surface. [3] [4]
