About
Cresponea pallidosorediata is a corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Opegraphaceae. It is a small crustose lichen that forms pale brownish patches on tree bark in subtropical forests of northern Argentina. It is distinguished by abundant powdery soredia, tiny granules that serve as reproductive propagules, which can spread to cover most of the lichen's surface. It was formally described in 2022 from material collected in Parque provincial Pampa del Indio in Chaco Province, and had not been recorded elsewhere as of the original publication.
