Lobariella robusta is a species of foliose 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 by Smith from the Keck Observation Headquarters ( Waimea) at an elevation of 822 m (2,697 ft). Here, in a mesic habitat with open-landscaped parkland, the lichen grows on tree trunks. Its thalli, closely attached to their substrate, are up to 5 cm (2 in) in diameter with a smooth, light green upper surface colour that becomes pale green-grey to yellowish grey after drying. It is only known to occur at the type locality. Secondary chemicals that are found in the lichen include pseudocyphellarin A, 4-O-methyl-gyrophoric acid, and gyrophoric acid. The specific epithet refers to the "rather robust, leathery thallus". [1]
