Platismatia formosana is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in the mountains of Taiwan, it was first formally described as a species of Cetraria in 1933 by Alexander Zahlbruckner. [1] William and Chicita Culberson transferred it to the genus Platismatia in 1968. The species epithet formosana refers to its distribution, as " Formosa" is the name formerly used in Western literature to refer to Taiwan. It contains the lichen products atranorin, caperatic acid, and an unidentified yellow pigment. [2]
