Caloplaca chlorina (Flot.) H.Olivier


Thallus blue-black, cracked areolate, with a minutely granular-isidiate surface; apothecia said to be rather rare, with orange discs and thick, greyish thalline margins. On rocks and walls, rarely bark, throughout Britain but evidently more frequent in the east.
