Glyphis cicatricosa is a crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[1] It has a pantropical distribution, being found in the US, Central and South America, South, South-East and East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.[2]
In Japan[]
Glyphis cicatricosa has been of some interest in Japan because its distribution is increasing. The species was first identified on the bark of a Phellodendron amurense tree in Tsukuba, where it grow alongside the other lichens , and Pertusaria pertusa.
Some have speculated that the spread of Glyphis cicatricosa in Japan could be a result of climate change related temperature increase, the urban heat island effect, reduced air pollution or a combination of these factors.[2]
