Xanthoparmelia is a genus of lichen belonging to the family Parmeliaceae. Xanthoparmelia is synonymous with Almbornia, Neofuscelia, Chondropsis, Namakwa, Paraparmelia, and Xanthomaculina.[1] This family of lichen is commonly found on the mid-east coast of the United States.
The name means 'golden yellow parmelia'. The photobiont (photosynthetic partner) is trebouxioid (a genus of algae).
Possibly 4-Methylpiperazine and Pyrazolo Pyrimidin-7-1, components of the lichen Xanthoparmelia scabrosa are PDE5 inhibitors.[2]
