Ramalina erumpens
Ramalina erumpens is a species of corticolous lichen (bark-dwelling) in the family Ramalinaceae. Originally thought to be specimens of Ramalina pacifica, the species was identified as being distinct in 1996 by Dan Blanchon, John E. Braggins and Alison Stewart. It is found in New Zealand, and on Tasmania and Macquarie Island in Australia.
