About
Allographa jayatilakana is a species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Described in 2019 from a specimen collected on ornamental fig trees in Colombo, Sri Lanka, this bark-dwelling lichen is named in honour of Jayatilaka Bandara Weerakoon, father of one of the describing authors. The species is recognized by its distinctive yellow to orange powder that coats the edges of its narrow, black, slit-like fruiting bodies, and is currently known only from the type locality in urban Sri Lanka.
