About
Cladonia darwinii is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. Found in Australia and New Zealand, it was formally described as a new species in 2003 by the lichenologist Samuel Hammer. He collected the type specimen from the vicinity of the Mavora Lakes in Southland, at an elevation of 620 m (2,030 ft). The species epithet is named after Charles Darwin to honour his foundational work on evolutionary theory and the significance of variation in evolution, a concept that remains challenging in the study of Cladonia lichens.
