Pannoparmelia is a genus of lichenised ascomycetes in the large family Parmeliaceae. It is a genus of five currently accepted species.[1] Pannoparmelia species have a foliose growth habit.
Etymology
The name Pannoparmelia comes from the Latin term pannosus, which means 'felt like texture'. This is a reference to the noticeably spongy hypothallus exhibited by species in this genus.[2]
