Bacidina circumpulla is a species of crustose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. Found in Alaska and British Columbia, it was described as a new species in 2020 by Stefan Ekman.
The type specimen was collected in the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area area of Glacier Bay National Park, as part of a comprehensive lichen inventory of this park. Here the species was found on the shoreline of the Queen Inlet growing on a rotting driftwood log. The specific epithet circumpulla refers to the shiny black ring formed by pigment in the top part of the margin of the apothecium that encircles the paler disc.[1]
