Xanthoria Parietina
''Xanthoria parietina'' is a foliose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It has wide distribution, and many common names such as common orange lichen, yellow scale, maritime sunburst lichen and shore lichen. It can be found near the shore on rocks or walls (hence the epithet ''parietina'' meaning "on walls"), and also on inland rocks, walls, or tree bark. It was chosen as a model organism for genomic sequencing (planned in 2006) by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI).

Taxonomy The species was first scientifically described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, as ''Lichen parietinus''. ''Xanthoria coomae'', described from New South Wales in 2007, and ''Xanthoria polessica'', described from Belarus in 2013, were later determined to be synonyms of ''Xanthoria parietina''.

Xanthoria Elegans
''Xanthoria elegans'', commonly known as the elegant sunburst lichen, is a lichenized species of fungus in the genus ''Xanthoria'', family Teloschistaceae. Recognized by its bright orange or red pigmentation, this species grows on rocks, often near bird or rodent perches. It has a circumpolar and alpine distribution. It was one of the first lichens to be used for the rock-face dating method known as lichenometry. Taxonomy ''Xanthoria elegans'' was described by Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link as ''Lichen elegans'' in 1791, and transferred to the genus ''Xanthoria'' by Theodor Magnus Fries (son of Elias Magnus Fries) in 1860. Description The thallus of this lichen is described as foliose, having the aspect of leaves, although the central portions of the thallus may appear nearly crustose. It is small, typically less than wide, with lobes less than broad, appressed to loosely appressed. The upper surface is some shade of orange while the lower surface is white, , with short, sparse ...
