Leimonis erratica is a species of crustose lichen in the family Pilocarpaceae. A widely distributed species that grows on siliceous rock, it is found in Asia, Australia, North America, and Réunion.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The lichen was originally described in 1861 by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber as a member of genus Lecidea.[3] In 2009, Richard Harris and James Lendemer transferred it to the new genus Leimonis, in which it is the type species.[4]
