Rhizoplaca Callichroa
''Rhizoplaca'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Lecanoraceae. Members of the genus are commonly called rimmed navel lichens because of their umbilicate growth form and lecanorine (rimmed with thallus-like tissue)apothecia, also rock-posy lichen and rockbright.Field Guide to California Lichens, Stephen Sharnoff, Yale University Press, 2014, Species , Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 17 species of ''Rhizoplaca'': * '' Rhizoplaca arbuscula'' * '' Rhizoplaca callichroa'' * '' Rhizoplaca glaucophana'' * '' Rhizoplaca haydenii'' * '' Rhizoplaca idahoensis'' * '' Rhizoplaca melanophthalma'' * '' Rhizoplaca nigromarginata'' * ''Rhizoplaca novomexicana'' * '' Rhizoplaca occulta'' * '' Rhizoplaca opaca'' * '' Rhizoplaca ouimetensis'' * '' Rhizoplaca pachyphylla'' * '' Rhizoplaca parilis'' * ''Rhizoplaca polymorpha ''Rhizoplaca polymorpha'' is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae.

Rhizoplaca Chrysoleuca
''Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca'' (orange rim lichen, rock-posy lichen, rockbright) is a pale yellowish-green to gray-green umbilicate lichen, umbilicate foliose lichen, foiliose lichen in the Lecanoraceae (rim lichen) family.Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region, Vol 1, Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) 2001/ref> It was first species description, described in 1791 by English botanist Sir James Edward Smith as ''Lichen chrysoleucus''; Friedrich Wilhelm Zopf transferred it to the genus ''Rhizoplaca'' in 1905. The single-leaf (monophyllous) umbilicate thallus can be 2–3.5 cm in width, with deep lobes. The thallus is relatively thick and lumpy with warts and lobules. The fruiting structures (apothecia have lightly pruinose, burnt-orange to tan discs rimmed, with a contrasting rim of pale greenish thallus-like tissue making them easy to identify. Apothecia are 0.8–2.5 mm diameter, and often numerous and crowded into each other. It grows in Eura ...

Rhizoplaca Parilis
''Rhizoplaca parilis'' is a crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Described in 2011, it was separated from the '' Rhizoplaca melanophthalma'' complex after molecular studies showed it forms an independent evolutionary lineage. It typically forms tightly attached, rosette-shaped growths with radiating and a yellow-green surface, often featuring a dark, glossy centre when fruiting bodies are present. ''R. parilis'' occurs on exposed siliceous rock from about 2,000 metres up to 3,500 metres in habitats ranging from pinyon–juniper woodland to alpine tundra across North America, Europe, Asia and South America. Taxonomy ''Rhizoplaca parilis'' was formally described in 2011 by Steven Leavitt, Félix Fernández-Mendoza, H. Thorsten Lumbsch, Mohammad Sohrabi and Larry St Clair from material collected on basalt at elevation on Thousand Lake Mountain, Utah. Molecular work that analysed several nuclear and mitochondrial loci resolved the species as "clade IVb" within the ...

Rhizoplaca Ouimetensis
''Rhizoplaca ouimetensis'' is a saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen species in the family Lecanoraceae. Uniquely identified by its form—a feature not observed in other '' Rhizoplaca'' species—it was discovered in Ontario, Canada, specifically within the Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park. Taxonomy The lichen was formally described in 2022 as a new species by Sam Brinker, Ann Evankow, and Einar Timdal. The type specimen was collected by the first author from the base of a canyon in Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park, where it was found growing on vertical faces of boulders among moss-covered talus. Plants in the area included stunted individuals of ''Picea mariana'', ''Betula papyrifera'', and ''Alnus alnobetula'' ssp. ''crispa''. The species epithet refers to the type locality. Later molecular phylogenetics analysis placed the species as a member of "clade II", a grouping of '' Rhizoplaca'' species with bluish-black, rarely yellowish with a distribution mostly in North A ...

Rhizoplaca Occulta
''Rhizoplaca occulta'' is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. The species was described in 2013 after DNA analysis revealed it had long been hidden within the broadly defined species complex based around the widespread '' Rhizoplaca melanophthalma''. ''Rhizoplaca occulta'' is a highly variable lichen can form either tightly attached, radiating growths with dark centers or loose, unattached cushions that roll freely on the ground. It is known only from high-elevation sites in Nevada, Idaho, and Utah, where it grows on exposed, calcium-poor rocks, though reliable identification typically requires both chemical analysis and DNA confirmation due to its variable appearance. Taxonomy ''Rhizoplaca occulta'' was described in 2013 by Steven Leavitt, Félix Fernández-Mendoza, H. Thorsten Lumbsch, Mohammad Sohrabi, and Larry St. Clair. The authors placed it in '' Rhizoplaca'' after multilocus DNA analyses recovered a strongly supported clade ("IVa") that is geneal ...

Rhizoplaca Novomexicana
''Rhizoplaca novomexicana'' is a species of saxicolous lichen, saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Found in North America, the lichen was first species description, formally described as a new species in 1932 by Adolf Hugo Magnusson, as a member of the genus ''Lecanora''. Sergey Kondratyuk proposed a transfer to the genus ''Protoparmeliopsis'' in 2012. Steven Leavitt, Xin Zhao, and Helge Thorsten Lumbsch, H. Thorsten Lumbsch transferred it to the genus ''Rhizoplaca'' in 2015, when, following molecular phylogenetics analysis, they emended that genus to include three species previously placed in ''Lecanora''.
