Gyalideopsis sessilis is a species of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen in the family Gomphillaceae.[1] Found in Florida, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by lichenologists William Sanders and Robert Lücking.
Gyalideopsis sessile was formally described by William Sanders and Robert Lücking as a new species distinct from Gyalideopsis vulgaris. The species epithet refers to the typically sessile propagule of diahyphae and incorporated photobionts. The type specimen was collected by the first author in Lee County, Florida, at the Florida Gulf Coast University campus on September 14, 2014.[2]
