Pyrenula microcarpa is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Pyrenulaceae. It has a pantropical distribution.
Description
Pyrenula microcarpa has a white to grey thallus without a pseudocyphellae, and black ascomata measuring up to 0.7 mm (0.028 in) in diameter.[2][3]
Taxonomy
The lichen was formally described as a new species in 1885 by Johannes Müller Argoviensis.[4]
Distribution
The species is primarily pantropical, mostly found in open coastal areas, but can also be found in montane forest.[2] It is widespread in Australia, and was first recognised in New Zealand in 2015.[2]
