Rehmia chionea

Snowy map lichen

OK I am not 100% on the taxonomy of this lichen. Sometimes I see it referred to as Rhizocarpon chioneum, Catillaria chionea, Rehmia chionea, or Rehmia chioneum, and as far as I can tell all these names have been synonymized, but this work is all extremely recent (like still in pre-print) and maybe not exactly entirely clear??? I am doing my best here, folks, but I could be mistaken so sue me. This crustose lichen grows on calcareous rock in Alpine-Arctic regions of the northern hemisphere. It has a continuous to rimose (cracked), pruinose (powdery) white thallus surrounded in a thin gray-black prothallus. Its apothecia are embedded in the upper surface, and have black discs and pruinose margins.

A little later a thousand hungry eyes were bending over the peep-holes of the stereoscope, as though they were the attic-windows of the infinite. The love of pornography, which is no less deep-rooted in the natural heart of man than the love of himself, was not to let slip so fine an opportunity of self-satisfaction. 

– Charles Baudelaire, On Photography, 1859
