Candelaria fruticans
Opeltiella fruticans is a species of lichen in the family Candelariaceae. Described as a new species in 1974 (as Candelaria fruticans), it is a small shrubby, soil-dwelling lichen with ascending lobes. It is known from Venezuela and from Costa Rica, Peru, Kenya and South Africa; although the type material is terricolous/muscicolous, most other records are corticolous (bark-dwelling) on woody hosts at mid- to high elevations.
