Parmelia omphalodes is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is one of the several dozen lichen species first described in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus.[3] Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius transferred it to the genus Parmelia in 1803.[4] The lichen is widely distributed, having been recorded in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North and South Americas.[5] In Nepal, Parmelia omphalodes has been reported from 3,500 to 4,500 m elevation in a compilation of published records; this reported range extends above the tree line used in the study.[6] Morphologically similar–but genetically distinct–species include Parmelia discordans and P. pinnatifida.[5]
