Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Dolichocarpus is a genus of lichens in the family Opegraphaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by lichenologist Rolf Santesson in 1949, with Dolichocarpus chilensis assigned as the type species. This species, found in Chile, grows on cactus spines in a fog desert.[2] For several decades the genus remained monotypic, until 2008 when André Aptroot added Dolichocarpus seawardii. This lichen, found on St Helena, forms large patches on wet, overhanging rock ledges.[3]
