Description

Calvitimela is a lichen group found in cold, rocky environments like arctic and alpine regions. It forms small, crust-like growths on rocks and can withstand extreme temperatures and UV radiation. Some species in this group have a unique ability to produce compounds that protect them from harsh sunlight, allowing them to thrive in exposed, high-altitude habitats.
