Parmotrema albinatum

Parmotrema albinatum is a species of lichen in the family Parmeliaceae that is found in Hawaii. It was originally described in 2001 as Rimelia albinata.[2] Later phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the genus Rimelia was synonymous with Parmotrema, so this species was transferred to that genus.[3] The lichen is characterized by the sorediate and short-lacinulate (containing glands) thallus with salazinic acid in the medulla and traces of lobaric acid. The upper surface of the thallus is whitish, which probably a result of the thickness of the thick upper cortex.[2]
