Peltula

	Peltula ''Peltula'' is a genus of small dark brown to olive or dark gray squamulose lichens that can be saxicolous (grow on rock)) or terricolous (grow on soil). Members of the genus are commonly called rock-olive lichens.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, They are cyanolichens, with the cyanobacterium photobiont from the genus '' Anacystis''. They are umbilicate with flat to erect squamule lobes that attach from a central holdfast or cluster of rhizenes. Lichen spot tests are usually negative. The thallus of members of the genus are similar to members of ''Heppia'', ''Psora'', and '' Placidium'', although the first genus has cyanobacteria from the genus ''Scytonema'', and the latter two genera have green algae The green algae (singular: green alga) are a group consisting of the Prasinodermophyta and its unnamed sister which contains the Chlorophyta and Charophyta/Streptophyta.
