Relicina colombiana

Relicina colombiana is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.

The type specimen was collected in Bogotá, Páramo de Chisacá, at 3,700 m (12,100 ft) above sea level on rock outcrops in an Espeletia vegetation area.

Bulbate cilia are conspicuous, forming a dense marginal fringe and are often forked and black.

While R. subabstrusa is widely distributed in northeastern Australia, Southeast Asia, South America, and the Indian Ocean, and grows on the trunks and branches of trees across various habitats, R. colombiana is limited to quartzitic rock in the paramo zone of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia.

[2] Relicina colombiana is restricted to saxicolous substrates in the páramo of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, at elevations between 3,700 and 4,315 m (12,139 and 14,157 ft).
