About

Hypogymnia canadensis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in western North America, it was formally described as a new species in 2007. Although Hypogymnia canadensi shares its habitat with several related species, it can be reliably identified through a combination of its morphological traits—such as narrower lobe width and smoother upper surface—and its unique chemical composition.
