About
Tricharia variratae is a foliicolous (leaf-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Gomphillaceae, described as a new species in 2005. The type was collected in Papua New Guinea, Varirata National Park at 800 m elevation, from leaves in March 1987. The species appears closely related to Tricharia elegans and allied taxa, and it is very similar to Tricharia pallida, but is distinguished from that species by its more or less umbelliform (nail-like) hyphophores.
