Herpothallon corallinum is a little-known species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Arthoniaceae.[1] Found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it was formally described as new to science in 2009 by the lichenologist Göran Thor. It contains confluentic acid as a major lichen product and various others as minor products and trace metabolites. The species is only known from two old collections, including the type collection, made in 1898, both in a lowland rainforest on the western shore of Lake Tanganyika.[2]
