Atla palicei is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. Found in Sweden, it was formally described as a new species in 2008 by Sanja Savić and Leif Tibell. The type specimen was collected in the Kärkevagge valley (Låktatjåkka, Kiruna Municipality), where it was found near a stream growing on a west-facing calcareous boulder. It is only known to occur in the Torne Lappmark in Sweden at elevations between 410 and 650 m (1,350 and 2,130 ft), but the authors suggest that it is "probably overlooked elsewhere". The lichen has a blackish-brown, scurfy thallus that is diffusely areolate, and ascospores measuring 43–51 by 23–26 μm.[1]
