Pseudocyphellaria allanii is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and foliose (leafy) lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Found in New Zealand, it was formally described as a new species in 1982 by Bernd Renner and David Galloway. The type specimen was collected by Galloway on the path to Emily Falls on Mount Peel ( South Canterbury); here it was found growing on a fallen Pseudowintera on a stream bank. [1] The lichen contains the secondary compounds 7β-acetoxyhopan-22-ol and hopan-15α-22-diol, which are derivatives of the triterpene compound hopane. [2] The specific epithet allanii honours New Zealand botanist Harry Allan, who "described the vegetation of Mt Peel, and who later promoted interest in New Zealand lichens". [1]
