Lethariella canariensis

Lethariella canariensis is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.[2] It was first formally described as a new species in 1810 by Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius, as Alectoria canariensis.[3] After having been transferred to several genera in its taxonomic history,[1] it was placed in the genus Lethariella by Hildur Krog in 1976.[4] It occurs on the Canary Islands.[5]
