Data Set Maintenance: Data set compiled (Flora of Australia Vol. 55 Lichens-Lecanorales, Parmeliaceae). Data set author(s): Nöske, N. M. @EXCL@ Clerc, P. (04-10-10). Data set not revised; to be published after submission.

Nomenclature: Current taxonomic status: basionymous. Taxonomic rank: species. Currently accepted name Xanthoparmelia canobolasensis Elix. Xanthoparmelia. Parmeliaceae Zenker (1827); Lecanorineae; Lecanorales.

Type Information: Basionym: Xanthoparmelia canobolasensis Elix. Type: Xanthoparmelia canobolasensis Elix.

Biogeography: Southern hemispheric (endemic). Continent: Australasia. Checklist records: Australia.

Thallus: Foliose, subdivided into main parts, irregular, lobed; lobes elongate, imbricate; branches applanate (moderately flattened); separate thallus parts 1-3 mm wide. Thallus Size and Differentiation: 5-10 cm in diameter; main branches basally constricted. Upper Surface: Lime green (becoming greyish), matt or glossy (shiny), smooth (+/-); immaculate; not isidate; not sorediate. Lower Surface: Present, black (brown black at lobe apices); attached by holdfasts (adnate to tightly adnate); rhizinate; rhizines sparse, black (concolorous with lower surface), not branched.
