'''''[[Caloplaca saxicola]]''''' is a small bright orange crustose [[lichen]] that grows on rock all over the world, including [[Antarctica]]. It is commonly called rock firedot lichen, jewel lichen or rock jewel lichen. It has short, inflated looking elongate 1–2 mm and .3-.1 mm wide lobes that have an abrupt margin at the edge, and no prothallus.
The Plantagenet Dagger, part of the '''[[Crown Jewels of Westarctica]]''' is commonly used to invest individuals in [[Westarctica]]'s [[Orders of Westarctica|Orders of Chivalry]]. When knighting leaders of foreign nations, the sword is not used because foreign leaders do not bow before the [[Grand Duke Travis|Grand Duke]]. However, citizens of Westarctica and foreign diplomats are invited to kneel to receive the traditional dubbing with the dagger.


''C. saxicola'' is one of the few [[lichen]]s found in [[Westarctica]], and is likely the most southerly plant life. The [[Caloplaca Hills]] were named for this lichen, which grows on the rocks there. This lichen occurs over a portion of northern North America as far north as the Canadian Boreal forests, where Black Spruce is a dominant tree. In California, it is one of the most common saxicolous lichens.
This picture, taken by photographer [[Matt Roth]] shows Sir Sam Green being invested as a Knight of the [[Order of the Desert Heart]] after the successful [[Invasion of Calsahara]] in October 2017. The ceremony took place in [[Montague Square]] in the Calsaharan capital city of [[Otisburg]] immediately following the cessation of hostilities between Westarctica and its new colony.
