About
Tetramelas papillatus is a species of crustose lichen in the family Caliciaceae. It was first described in 1826 by the Norwegian botanist Søren Christian Sommerfelt from specimens collected in northern Norway. The lichen forms a white, granular crust with small wart-like bumps and tiny black fruiting bodies. It grows primarily on rocks among mosses in regions with arctic and alpine climates, with a bipolar distribution spanning both polar regions and high mountains. The species has been transferred between several genera over nearly two centuries before being reclassified in Tetramelas in 2004.
