Peltula Marginata
''Peltula'' is a genus of small dark brown to olive or dark gray squamulose lichen, squamulose lichens that can be saxicolous (grow on rock)) or terricolous (grow on soil). Members of the genus are commonly called rock-olive lichens.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, They are cyanolichens, with the cyanobacterium photobiont from the genus ''Anacystis''. They are umbilicate with flat to erect squamule lobes that attach from a central holdfast (biology), holdfast or cluster of rhizenes. Lichen spot tests are usually negative. The thallus of members of the genus are similar to members of ''Heppia'', ''Psora'', and ''Placidium'', although the first genus has cyanobacteria from the genus ''Scytonema'', and the latter two genera have green algae as the photobiont. The genus is in the family Peltulaceae. Species *''Peltula auriculata'' *''Peltula bolanderi'' *''Peltula brasiliensis'' *''Peltula capensis'' *''Peltula cataractae'' *''P ...
