About
Ocellularia brasiliensis is a corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. The species was described in 2014 from primary rainforest near Porto Velho in Rondônia, Brazil, where it grows on tree bark in shaded understory conditions. It forms uneven gray patches with whitish to light yellow-green powdery structures and has rounded fruiting bodies with a black central column. It differs from O. africana in having a blackened apothecial wall and central column, and in producing a distinctive yellow lichen substance.
