Flavopunctelia is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Parmeliaceae.^[2] The genus contains species that are widespread in temperate and tropical areas.^[3] The genus is characterised by broad, yellow-green lobes, point-like (punctiform) pseudocyphellae on the thallus surface, and bifusiform conidia (i.e., threadlike with a swelling at both ends). All species contain usnic acid as a major secondary chemical in the cortex. Flavopunctelia was originally conceived as a subgenus of Punctelia by Hildur Krog in 1982;^[4] Mason Hale promoted it to generic status in 1984.^[5]
