Xanthoria aureola

An infrequently recorded coastal mid-zone species. It is typically characterised by lobes that are narrower than those of X. parietina,  but examples resembling the form pseudoisidiee occur on copper slag boulders on saltmarsh at Penclawdd.

Listed by Alan Orange in Flora of Glamorgan (Wade et al, 1994).
