About

Caloplaca chlorina is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It occurs in Europe, where it grows on damp siliceous rocks. This lichen forms dark grey crusts with a bluish tint that break into irregular blocks covered with powdery granules, giving the surface a flour-like appearance. It was first described in 1850 and rarely produces fruiting bodies, but when present they are small with bright yellow to orange centres surrounded by thick grey rims.
