Pulchrocladia corallaizon is a species of lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It was first formally described as Cladia corallaizon. The specific epithet corallaizon, modified from Greek, means "ever-living coral".[2] In 2018, it was transferred to the newly circumscribed genus Pulchrocladia.[3]
The lichen makes pale grey to greenish-grey pseudopodetia that are up to 5 cm (2 in) tall. Secondary compounds occurring in the lichen include atranorin, protolichesterinic acid, ursolic acid, and usnic acid. The distribution of Pulchrocladia corallaizon is limited to South Australia and Western Australia.[3]
