About
Corella melvinii is a species of lichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It forms thin, leaf-like mats that grow over mosses on tree bark in humid mountain rainforests. The lichen is found from Central America to South America, including locations in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Bolivia. Originally classified in a different genus, it was moved to Corella in 2013 based on genetic studies.
