Ramalina leptocarpha, also known as the western strap lichen, is a species of cartilage lichen found in Oregon, California, and Baja California.[1][2][3] The range of this species extends from the coast as far inland as the Sierra Nevada mountain range.[2] R. leptocarpha often grows in epiphytic association with Ramalina menziesii.[4] Trebouxia decolorans is its primary algal photobiont.[4] This species was first described in 1858 by Edward Tuckerman from a collection made in Monterey, California.[5]
