On dead buttonwood bark. Curtis Bjork helped me ID this. Used <RC Harris> to secure genus, then found a key to tropical corticolous Buellia online at www.bgbm.org. Our spores are a bit large, but otherwise matches quite well. <RC Harris> keys it to B. melanochlora, however, that species has textured spores.
