Lobariella flynniana is a species of lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Found in Hawaii, it was formally described as a new species in 2017 by lichenologists Robert Lücking Bibiana Moncada and Clifford Smith. The type specimen was collected from the western slopes of Mount Waialeale in Kōkeʻe State Park ( Kauai) at an elevation of 1,250–1,350 m (4,100–4,430 ft). It is known to occur only at the type locality, a montane, mesic forest, where it grows on tree branches. The lichen thallus has numerous extensively branches lobules that give it a somewhat fruticose (bushy) appearance; this morphology is unique in the genus Lobariella. Secondary compounds that have been identified in Lobariella flynniana include pseudocyphellarin A, 4-O-methyl-gyrophoric acid, and gyrophoric acid. The specific epithet honours Timothy Flynn, the Herbarium Collections Manager at Kauai's National Tropical Botanical Garden, who assisted the authors with procuring the type. [1]
