Degelia neozelandica is a species of foliose lichen in the genus Degelia. [3]
The species was initially described under Steinera, [4] but was removed in 1982 when the genus was revised by Aino Henssen and Peter Wilfred James. [5] It was then placed into Parmeliella, [5] and later into Degelia. [6]
Degelia neozelandica is most widely found in New Zealand, on both Macquarie and South Islands, but has also been found in a single alpine locality in Tasmania, Australia. [3]
It grows on fine sandy soil in subalpine and alpine grasslands in altitudes of between 900 and 1,800 metres (2,950 and 5,910 feet). [5]
Degelia neozelandica has several associated species with which it is often found. These include Parmeliella crassa, [7] Pannaria hookeri, Solorina spongiosa, Collema coccophorum, Lecanora atra, Pertusaria dactylina, Psoroma buchanani, and Psoroma fruticulosum. [5]
