'''''[[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.

The Plantagenet Dagger, part of the Crown Jewels of Westarctica is commonly used to invest individuals in Westarctica's Orders of Chivalry. When knighting leaders of foreign nations, the sword is not used because foreign leaders do not bow before the Grand Duke. However, citizens of Westarctica and foreign diplomats are invited to kneel to receive the traditional dubbing with the dagger.

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.
