Graphis palmicola is a species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[1] Found on the Nicobar Islands, it was formally described as a new species in 2005 by Urmila Makhija and Bharati Adawadkar. The type specimen was collected from a beach forest in Katchal Island, where it was found growing on a coconut tree. The species epithet, which combines the Latin Palma ("palm tree") and cola ("exists"), refers to its host.[2] The ascomata (fruiting bodies) of the lichen are in the form of lirellae, which are elongated and irregularly branched; this particular branching pattern is known as the handelii-morph.[3]
