New Species - Xanthoria parietina (Common Orange Lichen)

I am now ploughing my way through lichen samples on a collection of Hawthorn, Ash and Apple twigs and discovering a whole bunch of new species with the help of the Dobson lichen id book, but some still need confirmation. This is one I am confident of and there is plenty of it around. It is a Foliose lichen with little 'jam tart' like fruits.
