About

Acarospora organensis is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), squamulose lichen. It was originally described in the late 1920s by Swedish naturalist and part-time lichenologist A. H. Magnusson who misidentified it as Acarospora xanthophana, a species endemic to South America. In 2021, botanist and lichenologist Kerry Knudsen corrected the original misidentification and formally described it as Acarospora organensis.
