Lichens are composed of a fungus in symbiotic union with an alga and having a greenish, gray, yellow, brown, or blackish thallus that grows in leaf like, crust like, or branching forms on rocks, trees, etc.
I do not have the leaf before me and can not remember what it looks like, but..... A monocot leaf has parallel veins, lines of veins that do not meet or cross. A dicot has reticulated veins, veins that look somewhat like a messy spider web, crossing and perpendicular to each other. Look at the leaf and decide on this general information given you.
Crustose lichens are those which grow so tightly to the surface they are on that you can't remove them without damaging the surface.
Parallel veins are a common characteristic of many monocots.
A scaly leaf is a leaf that has scales like a dragon's scales.
In pinnate leaf the leaf lamina forms the leaflets whereas in palmate leaf the lamina becomes palm like.
A pinnately compound leaf has leaflets arranged on either side of the central leaf axis, resembling a feather, while a palmately compound leaf has leaflets attached to a single point at the tip of the petiole, resembling an open palm.
