Graphis stipitata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) script lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[1] Found in Australia, it was formally described as a new species in 2001 by the lichenologist Alan W. Archer. The type specimen was collected near Yungaburra Road in Queensland (about 2 km southeast of Atherton) at an elevation of 850 m (2,790 ft), where it was found growing on the bark of Casuarina. The species epithet stipitata ('crowded') alludes to the numerous and crowded [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (fruiting bodies) that are characteristic of this species. The lichen contains three secondary metabolites (lichen products): lichexanthone as a major metabolite, norstictic acid as a minor component, and trace amounts of connorstictic acid.[2]
