About
Schistophoron aurantiacum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Costa Rica, it was formally described as a new species in 2007 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Harrie Sipman. The type specimen was collected by the second author from Carara National Park, where it was found along a stream in a partly disturbed primary forest dominated by an understory of the shrub Erythrochiton gymnanthus.
