About
Allographa kamojangensis is a species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. It was formally described in 2019 from specimens collected on jackfruit trees in the Kamojang geothermal field area of West Java, Indonesia. The lichen is characterised by its white-grey crusty thallus and prominent, irregularly branched fruiting bodies with black lips dusted with distinctive yellow-orange pigment. The species was first recognised from a photograph posted to a social media group, and has been cited as an example of the growing role of citizen science in contemporary lichen taxonomy.
