Waynea hirsuta is a species of squamulose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. This sorediate lichen was described from specimens collected in the Tunkinsky District in the Lake Baikal region of central Siberia. The type material of W. hirsuta was collected on the bark of old Populus balsamifera trees growing within a closed stand of Pinus sibirica.[1]
The lichen forms small, scale-like thalli whose [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are densely clothed in colourless hairs—a feature that gives the species its name. The soralia are [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (lip-like), and the ascospores are (0–)1(–3)-septate. In standard chemical spot tests the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], and upper [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] give positive reactions with K and with N.[1] Waynea giraltiae also has hairy squamules, but its ascospores are 1-septate and somewhat shorter (10–15 x 2–2.4 μm) compared to W. hirsuta.[2]
