#2204 - Ramalina celasti - Cartilage Lichen
AKA Palmetto Lichen in North America, but from the growth form rather than preferred substrate. Originally described as Parmelia celastri, from specimens found in South Africa, on Celastrus pyracanthus (since renamed Putterlickia pyracantha). Despite that, it has a pantropical distribution, growing on bark or wood.
In New Zealand it grows exclusively on the North Island, and has a rock-dwelling form found exclusively along the coasts, with quite different morphology to tree-dwelling specimens.
There are an estimated 240 species in the genus, which are sometimes called Strap Lichens.

Ramalina subleptocarpha "Strap Lichen"
Fort Casey State Park, WA December 17, 2013 Robert Niese
Strap lichens in the genus Ramalina are relatively abundant and easy to recognize. Most grow on tree bark and have bushy bodies (i.e. a fruticose thallus) with lots of long, flattened branches. This particular individual is densely covered in soredia (reproductive structures) giving it a coarse, bumpy appearance. This suggests that this individual is severely stressed by local air pollution.
