Austroplaca hookeri is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.[2] It was originally described by Carroll William Dodge in 1965, as Gasparrinia hookeri. The type specimen was originally collected by British botanist and explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker on Cockburn Island; the species is named in his honour.[3] The taxon was transferred to the large genus Caloplaca in 2004,[4] and again to the genus Austroplaca in 2013 as part of a restructuring of the family Teloschistaceae.[5]
The lichen forms rosettes up to 2.5 cm (1 in) in diameter. Its thallus is typically orange, although the colour is yellow in shaded areas. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] at the margins of the thallus are up to 1.5 mm long and 0.5 mm wide.[3] Austroplaca hookeri occurs on rocky seashores of the Antarctic Peninsula, Falkland Islands, and South Shetland Islands in maritime Antarctica.[6]
