Niebla eburnea is a fruticose lichen that grows on rocks along the foggy Pacific Coast of North America, from Mendocino County in California south to near Punta Santa Rosalillita in Baja California, and also in the Channel Islands.[1][2] The epithet, eburnea is in reference to the ivory like appearance of the cortex.[1]

^Niebla eburnea reported in Spjut (1996) as far north as Sonoma County; Mendocino County report from images shown and described on Enlichment web page titled Niebla homalea (Ach.) Rundel & Bowler, not all Niebla homalea according to Spjut (1996); Niebla eburnea, 1st and 12th images by Curtis Björk (Jughandle State Preserve, Mendocino County, 2011-07-09), 10th image by Jason Hollinger (Navarro State Park, 2007-02-24), a total of 14 images exhibited, 6 species represented. Other images in sequence are of Niebla disrupta (2nd & 12th images, Curtis Björk, Jughandle Preserve, 2011-07-09), N. homalea (3rd Jason Hollinger & 8th Curtis Björk images, Salt Point State Park, Jughandle State Park, 2007-02-24; 2011-07-09), Vermilacinia procera with Niebla testudinaria (4th image, Pt. Lobos St. Park), Vermilacinia combeoides (5th image), and Niebla cornea (6th, 7th & 9th images)
