Xanthoparmelia lesothoensis
Xanthoparmelia lesothoensis is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found at high elevations in the Drakensberg escarpment of Lesotho, it was formally described as a new species in 1986 by the American lichenologist Mason Hale. The type specimen was collected from a pasture east of Sani Pass at an elevation of 2,875 m (9,432 ft), where it was found growing on sun-exposed dolerite rock ledges. The lichen has a leathery, yellowish-green thallus that is tightly attached to its rock substrate and reaches 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) in diameter. It contains salazinic acid, diffractaic acid, and usnic acid.

Diffractaic acid
Diffractaic acid is a β-orcinol depside with the molecular formula C20H22O7, which is produced by lichens. Diffractaic acid has cytotoxic, cytogenetic, oxidative, analgesic and antiviral effects.

The foliose lichen species Punctelia diffractaica is named for the presence of this compound.

Century (cricket)
In cricket, a century is a score of 100 or more runs in a single innings by a batter. The term is also included in "century partnership" which occurs when two batsmen add 100 runs to the team total when they are batting together. A century is regarded as a landmark score for batters and a player's number of centuries is generally recorded in their career statistics. Scoring a century is loosely equivalent in merit to a bowler taking a five-wicket haul, and is commonly referred to as a ton or hundred. Scores of more than 200 runs are still statistically counted as a century, although these scores are referred to as double (200–299 runs), triple (300–399 runs), and quadruple centuries (400–499 runs), and so on. Reaching 50 runs in an innings is known as a half-century.

Scoring a century at Lord's cricket ground in London earns the batter a place on the Lord's honours boards.
