Lepra is a genus of lichens that forms crusty growths on tree bark and rocks. It produces a variety of colorful chemicals that can change the lichen's appearance when exposed to certain substances. Some species in this group are used as natural pH indicators due to their color-changing properties. Lepra lichens play important roles in their ecosystems as pioneer species.
