Lecanora achroa

Lecanora achroa is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae.

It was originally described in 1876 by Finnish botanist William Nylander from specimens collected in Rodrigues, Mauritius.

[1] The lichen is found in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and North and South America.

The apothecia are sessile, and disc-shaped, measuring 0.3–0.8 mm (0.01–0.03 in) in diameter, with orange-brown discs.

[3] The Brazilian lichen Lecanora parachroa has morphological and anatomical features that are quite similar to L. achroa, but it differs in secondary chemistry, as it produces neither usnic acid nor 2′-O-methylperlatolic acid.
