About
Cresponea subpremnea is a species of lichen in the family Opegraphaceae. Originally described from Tasmania in 1992, it was later recognised as a distinct species in 2020 after being confused with a similar relative for many years. The lichen forms thin, patchy films on the flaky bark of old trees in cool-temperate rainforests, particularly favouring ancient southern beech trees and tree fern trunks. It is distinguished by its long, narrow ascospores with multiple cross-walls and its preference for dry, sheltered microhabitats in Tasmania's western rainforests and similar forests in Victoria.
