Carbacanthographis halei

Carbacanthographis halei is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae.

Found in insular Malaysia, it was formally described as a new species in 2022 by Shirley Cunha Feuerstein and Robert Lücking.

The type specimen was collected from a lowland oak-dipterocarp forest in Bako National Park (Sarawak).

The specific epithet honours American lichenologist Mason Hale, who collected the type in 1965.

[1] The lichen has an olive-yellow thallus with a distinct cortex and an indistinct prothallus.
