Ocellularia krathingensis |
Ocellularia krathingensis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Thailand, it was formally described as a new species in 2002 by lichenologists Natsurang Homchantara and Brian J. Coppins. The type specimen was collected by the first author from Khao Khitchakut National Park ( Chanthaburi Province). The specific epithet krathingensis refers to the Namtok Krathing fall, which is close to the type locality. [1]
The lichen has a pale greenish grey thallus with a rough to verruculose (warted) texture. Ocellularia krathingensis has been recorded from Eastern and southeastern Thailand at elevation ranges between 85 and 685 m (279 and 2,247 ft). It grows on trees and lianas. [1]
