Pseudocyphellaria argyracea is a species of foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. It was first scientifically described in 1822 by Dominique François Delise.[2] Edvard Vainio transferred it to the genus Pseudocyphellaria in 1898.
Description[edit]
Pseudocyphellaria argyracea has a foliose thallus that ranges from rosette-forming to irregularly spreading. Its upper surface features laminal white soralia and pseudocyphellae, while the pseudocyphellae and lobe margins bear simple to coralloid isidia.[3]
Habitat and distribution[edit]
From East Africa to India, Japan, New Zealand, South America, and the Pacific islands, Pseudocyphellaria argyracea has a broad distribution in the Palaeotropics.[3]
