Cladonia ceratophylla

Unlike many members of the Cladonia genus with conspicuous podetia much larger than the basal thallus, C. ceratophylla has a prominent basal thallus made up of broad, branching lobes topped by thin, relatively small podetia. These lobes are recurved, with a smooth, green upper surface, and a pale, rhizinate lower surface. The upper half of podetia are covered in thin, overlapping, needle-shaped microlobules, a defining feature of this species. C. ceratophylla grows on mossy soil in humid-tropical regions of Central America and South America, including the Galapagos Islands.
