Pannaria fulvescens

Pannaria fulvescens is a species of foliose lichen in the family Pannariaceae. It occurs in French Polynesia and in New Zealand. Originally described in 1848 from specimens collected in Tahiti, this lichen forms overlapping lobes with a distinctive dull tawny-orange colour and scattered bluish-violet spots on the upper surface. It produces grey reproductive propagules (soredia) along the upturned, channeled lobe margins, with narrow linear lobes that broaden towards their rounded, wavy tips. In New Zealand, the species has been recorded from Northland, where it grows on both rock and tree bark in coastal forests, including on pōhutukawa trees and in kauri and mixed podocarp–broadleaf forests....read more on Wikipedia.
