''Ramalina siliquosa'', also known as sea ivory, is a tufted and branched lichen which is widely found on siliceous rocks and stone walls on coastlands round the British Isles, occasionally slightly inland. It grows well above the high-tide mark but is still very tolerant of salt spray.

eck this out!! You're looking at Sea Ivory (Ramalina siliquosa) growing on Torridonian Sandstone. Sea Ivory is a lichen that grows near the coast round the British Isles. This particular photo was taken in Wester Ross in the Northwest Scottish Highlands! This area is known for its incredible scenic glens, Caledonian forests, fascinating wildlife, rugged coastline, fjord-like lochs, and stunning mountains. It's wild, remote, and extremely beautiful! {Photo taken by in Scotland by JungleDragon user, NattyOne} #JungleDragon #WesterRoss #seaivory #Ramalinasiliquosa
