Flavopunctelia darrowii is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It was first formally described as a new species by John Walter Thomson in 1950 as Parmelia darrowi. It is named after American botanist Robert Arthur Darrow. [1] In 1982, Hildur Krog transferred it to the subgenus Flavopunctelia of her newly circumscribed genus Punctelia, created to contain Parmelia species with punctate (point-like) pseudocyphellae. [2] Mason Hale raised this subgenus to generic status a couple of years later. [3]
The lichen is endemic to the American oak- pine forests of southern Arizona and higher elevations in Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico. [4]
