Ramalina fastigiata is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. It is a common species found in Asia, Europe, and North America.

Taxonomy

[edit]

The lichen was first formally described in 1794 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon as Lichen fastigiatus.[1] Erik Acharius transferred it to the genus Ramalina in his 1810 publication Lichenographia universalis.[2]

Research

[edit]

Ramalina fastigiata is sensitive to air pollution and has been used in several studies as a biomonitor of atmospheric pollution.[3][4][5]
