Letrouitia domingensis thallus.

This brightly colored lichen was found on the bark of willow bustic (Sideroxylon salicifolia), a common tree of the region. Although this tree is a common component of many plant communities, we have found the lichen only when it occurs within hammocks (broad leaf tree islands).
