Maricopa Rock-shield
Xanthoparmelia maricopensis
Xanthoparmelia maricopensis (Maricopa rock-shield) is a 2-6mm wide, yellow-green foliose lichen in the Parmeliaceae family found growing on igneous rock in southwestern North American deserts.:138 The thallus is tightly adnate to the substrate, with irregular somewhat shiny 1-2 mm lobes. It differs from Xanthoparmelis dierythra in that it has hyposalazinic acid and the lobes are usually more narrow and more convex. The lower surface is tan and has unbranched rhizenes.:138
