Menegazzia foraminulosa

Menegazzia foraminulosa is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen that is endemic to New Zealand. The lichen was first formally described as a new species in 1876 by August von Krempelhuber.[1] Friedrich Bitter transferred it to the genus Menegazzia in 1901.[2] The species contains several lichen products, including depsides (atranorin and chloroatranorin), depsidones (stictic acid, constictic acid, norstictic acid, and menegazziaic acids), as well as fatty acids and pigments.[3]
