Summary

Rhizocarpon viridiatrum is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Rhizocarpaceae. The species is characterized by its distinctive yellowish-green colouration due to rhizocarpic acid and its parasitic lifestyle, initially growing on other crustose lichens before becoming independent.
