Peltula Marginata

	Peltula Marginata ''Peltula'' is a genus of small dark brown to olive or dark gray 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 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.

	Heppia ''Heppia'' is a genus of olive, brownish, gray, or blackish squamulose, crustose, or peltate like lichens.Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region. Vol 1, Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) 2001/ref> ''Heppia'' was once the type genus of the family Heppiaceae, but that family was folded into synonymy with Lichinaceae. The genus name of ''Heppiella'' is in honour of Johann Adam Philipp Hepp (1797–1867), a German physician and lichenologist. The genus was circumscribed by Carl Wilhelm von Nägeli and Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in Geneac. Lich. (Verona) 7-8 in 1854. Description ''Heppia'' species grow on rock or soil in arid sites around the world, in habitats similar to those favored by ''Peltula'', which is similar but has a different cyanobacterium as the photobiont. It lacks a medulla that is separate from the photobiont layer. It is a cyanolichen with the photobiont cyanobacterium being '' Syctonema'' (or ''Syctonema''-like). The lower ...

picture info	Green Algae The green algae (singular: green alga) are a group consisting of the Prasinodermophyta and its unnamed sister which contains the Chlorophyta and Charophyta/ Streptophyta. The land plants ( Embryophytes) have emerged deep in the Charophyte alga as sister of the Zygnematophyceae. Since the realization that the Embryophytes emerged within the green algae, some authors are starting to properly include them. The completed clade that includes both green algae and embryophytes is monophyletic and is referred to as the clade Viridiplantae and as the kingdom Plantae. The green algae include unicellular and colonial flagellates, most with two flagella per cell, as well as various colonial, coccoid and filamentous forms, and macroscopic, multicellular seaweeds. There are about 22,000 species of green algae. Many species live most of their lives as single cells, while other species form coenobia (colonies), long filaments, or highly differentiated macroscopic seaweeds. A few oth ...
