Cresponea ancistrosporelloides

About

Cresponea ancistrosporelloides is a species of lichen in the family Opegraphaceae. Known only from Stirling Range National Park in Western Australia, it was described as new to science in 2011. The specific epithet ancistrosporelloides refers to the similarity of its tailed spores to those of genus Ancistrosporella. The lichen forms pale grey crusts on volcanic rock and produces small black reproductive discs. It grows in dry shrubland at about 740 metres elevation and is one of only seven species in its genus found in Australia.
