Catillaria flexuosa is a species of crustose lichen in the family Catillariaceae. It is found in the south of the Netherlands, where it grows on the bark of roadside ash trees.
The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2021 by lichenologists Pieter van den Boom and Pablo Alvarado. The type specimen was collected south of the village of Zijtaart, where it was found growing on a medium-sized ash tree along the side of a road.[1]
