Neoprotoparmelia brasilisidiata

Neoprotoparmelia brasilisidiata is a species of bark-dwelling crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in parks and open areas across the Neotropics, it has been recorded from Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Brazil. The species was formally described in 2018 by Garima Singh, Marcela Cáceres, and André Aptroot from specimens collected in Serra de Itabaiana National Park in Brazil. The name brasilisidiata reflects both its Brazilian origin and the presence of isidia (small reproductive structures). The lichen can be distinguished from similar species by its greenish-white fluorescence under ultraviolet light and its chemical composition, which includes alectoronic acid as the major secondary compound....read more on Wikipedia.
