Caloplaca Marina
''Caloplaca marina'', the orange sea lichen, is a crustose, placodioid lichen. It has wide distribution, and can be found near the shore on rocks or walls. Calos in Greek means nice, placa in Greek is shield. Caloplaca therefore means ‘beautiful patches’. Taxonomy Synonyms are ''Caloplaca marina f. flavogranulata'' Wedd., (1875); ''Caloplaca marina var. flavogranulata'' (Wedd.) Zahlbr; ''Gasparrinia marina'' (Wedd.) Hav., (1936); and ''Placodium lobulatum'' Description The vegetative body of the lichen, the thallus, is orange or orange-red in colour and may be continuous or fragmented. When fragmented the thallus looks lumpy under a hand lens; when continuous it is areolate and the margins may be ill-defined with almost no lobes; it is never powdery or pruinose. A light coloured prothallus may be visible in well-developed specimens. Apothecia An ascocarp, or ascoma (), is the fruiting body ( sporocarp) of an ascomycete phylum fungus. It consists of very tightly interwo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Caloplaca Ignea
''Igneoplaca'' is a genus in the subfamily Xanthorioideae of the family Teloschistaceae. It contains a single species, the crustose lichen ''Igneoplaca ignea''. Taxonomy This species was first formally described in 1995 by Swedish lichenologist Ulf Arup, who included it in the genus '' Caloplaca''. The type specimen was collected from Cape Punta Banda in Baja California, where it was found growing on rock pavement on a south-facing slope. The specific epithet ''ignea'' (meaning "fire-red") refers to the color of the lobes, which are often orange-red at the base with paler tips – somewhat resembling flames. In 2013, Arup transferred the taxon to the new genus '' Polycauliona'' in a molecular phylogenetic-based reorganization of the Teloschistaceae. A year later, Kondratyuk and colleagues reorganized Teloschistaceae subfamily Caloplacoideae, and circumscribed genus ''Igneoplaca'' to contain the taxon. The genus is named after its species.
