Polycauliona polycarpa is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), fruticose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.[3] It was first formally described by German botanist Georg Franz Hoffmann in 1796, as Lobaria polycarpa. It has acquired quite an extensive synonymy in its taxonomic history.[2] In 2013, Patrik Frödén and colleagues transferred it to the genus Polycauliona, as part of a molecular phylogenetics-based restructuring of the family Teloschistaceae.[4] In northern North America, one vernacular name for the species is pin-cushion sunburst lichen.[5]
