Dufourea Ligulata

	Dufourea Ligulata ''Dufourea ligulata'' is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. The German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber first formally described the species in 1862, as a member of the genus '' Physcia''. Patrik Frödén, Ulf Arup, and Ulrik Søchting transferred it to the genus '' Dufourea'' in 2013 as part of a molecular phylogenetics-based restructuring of the family Teloschistaceae. The lichen is found in Australasia, usually on coastal rocks. The of its thallus are 5–10 mm long; they are generally longer and narrower than those of other Australian lichens, including '' X. streimannii'', '' X. parietina'', '' X. filsonii'', and '' X. elixii''.
