Canoparmelia consanguinea is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.
[1] Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2009 by lichenologists Marcelo Marcelli, Luciana da Silva Canêz, and John Elix.
The type specimen was collected from an open field in Fazenda da Estrela (Vacaria, Rio Grande do Sul) at an altitude of 920 m (3,020 ft), where it was growing on basaltic rock.
They produce granular soredia, which are persistent and stick together, eventually forming small, irregularly shaped structures called pseudoisidia or lobules.
[2] Apothecia (another type of reproductive structure) are rare and flat, attached to the surface and have a diameter of 2.7 mm.
