Waynea giraltiae

Waynea giraltiae is a corticolous (bark-dwelling) species of lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. It was first described in 2010 from specimens collected on oak trees in southern Portugal, and was named in honour of Spanish lichen researcher Mireia Giralt. The lichen forms small, scale-like patches on tree bark and is distinguished by its fine covering of tiny hairs and orange-red reaction to certain chemical spot tests. Though initially known only from the southwestern Iberian Peninsula, it has since been found scattered across Europe, including Italy, Slovakia, and Russia, typically growing on oak and elm trees in forests....read more on Wikipedia.
