Pannaria emodii is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), squamulose (scaley) to foliose (leafy) lichen in the family Pannariaceae.

The type specimen was collected in 1967 by Hiroshi Harada and colleagues from Shodu-Barshong (Bhutan) at an altitude between 3,500 and 3,800 m (11,500 and 12,500 ft).

[2] The lichen has a rosette-shaped thallus up to 5 cm (2 in) in diameter with peripheral lobes up to about 3 mm wide.

The thallus does not show any reactions to standard chemical spot tests, and no lichen products were detected using thin-layer chromatography.

Pannaria emodii is found in the eastern Himalayas with a geographic range extending from Bhutan to Sichuan, China.
