About
Allographa weerasooriyana is a species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Described in 2019 from specimens collected in the tea estates of Sri Lanka's Sabaragamuwa hill range, this bark-dwelling lichen is named in honour of Sri Lankan botanist Aruna Weerasooriya. The species is distinguished by its pale, warty crust marked with narrow, branching black slits that have characteristically bumpy borders, and it is known to occur only in montane tea plantation areas in Sri Lanka.
