Menegazzia pertransita

Menegazzia pertransita is a species of foliose lichen in the large lichen family Parmeliaceae. It is found in New Zealand, Australia, and South America.[2] The lichen was first formally described by Scottish physician and bryologist James Stirton in 1877 as Parmelia pertransita.[3] Swedish lichenologist Rolf Santesson transferred it to the genus Menegazzia in 1942.[4]
