Cladonia gallowayi is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Cladoniaceae.[2] Found in New Zealand, it was formally described as a new species in 2003 by the lichenologist Samuel Hammer. The species epithet honours David J. Galloway, who collected the type specimen from White Pine Swamp near Lake Rotoroa in Nelson, New Zealand in 1977.[1]
