Niebla dactylifera is a lichen known only from San Nicolas Island. It is distinct for its finger-like branchlets that arise from broad fan-like segments. Niebla dissecta, a related sekikaic-acid species in the Channel Islands, and also mainland California, is generally more dichotomously and diffusely branched from less dilated segments.
