Anaptychia ciliaris
Foliose lichen. It has a grey-greenish thallus of long, narrow lobes which widen and become brown at their tips. The upper surface is tomentose, with a "furry" appearance, whilst the lower is white and lacks a lower cortex (the hyphaea form a loose mat). Apothecia are not uncommon in unpolluted areas, with black, frequently pruinose discs and borne on short stalks.
