Chrysothrix chlorina (Ach.) J.R.Laundon
Thallus forming a thick (to 1mm.), granular-sorediate crust, greenish- to bright yellow, tending to be more coarsely granular than in the much more common C. candelaris but this difference, formerly used as a key character, is not reliable. Generally on sheltered faces and overhangs of siliceous rocks, rare but locally spectacular, Scottish Highlands, uplands of Wales.
