description Caloplaca holocarpa Overview
Caloplaca holocarpa is a small crustose lichen in the Teloschistaceae, but the name has been used for a difficult and variable group of similar taxa. The thallus is often poorly developed or nearly absent, while the conspicuous apothecia range from yellow to orange or orange-red and are usually small. It is recorded on bark, wood, stone, and other exposed substrates, but identification requires care because the traditional species concept is broad and taxonomic treatments differ.
