Sticta tainorum

Sticta tainorum is a rare species of foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. Found in Puerto Rico, it was formally described as a new species in 2020 by Joel Mercado‐Díaz and Robert Lücking. The type specimen was collected by the first author in Toro Negro State Forest at an elevation of 1036 m. It is only known to occur on a few trees in high-elevation forests on the eastern part of the island, near Pico Doña Juana. The specific epithet refers to the indigenous Taíno people.
