Gibbosporina acuminata is a species of foliose lichen in the family Pannariaceae. It was described as a new species in 2016 by Norwegian lichenologist Arve Elvebakk. The specific epithet, derived from the Latin acumen ("sharp point"), refers to the spiked bumps (gibbae) on the spore covering (perispore).[1] It occurs in the tropical forests of Queensland, Australia, and the Philippines.[2]
