About

Lambiella aliphatica is a species of crustose lichen in the family Xylographaceae. It is found in Alaska. This thin, crust-like lichen forms speckled patches up to 3.5 cm (1.4 in) across, breaking into tiny angular pieces with dark-grey rims and paler centers, and produces minute black fruiting bodies that are deeply cup-shaped with a central bump. Described as new to science in 2020 from a specimen collected in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, it is distinguished by containing unidentified fatty acids rather than the typical lichen products found in related species.
