About
Gyalideopsis heardensis is a species of crustose lichen in the family Gomphillaceae. This inconspicuous lichen forms thin, grey to grey-green crusts on rotting vegetation and is distinguished by its unusually large, strongly multi-celled spores contained singly within each spore sac. It is endemic to the remote subantarctic Heard Island, where it grows in the island's harsh, cold, and extremely wet climate.
