Psoroglaena spinosa is a species of lichen in the family Verrucariaceae,[1] first described in 2016. It is characterized by its small fruticose (bushy) thallus, which is corticate, smooth, dull, and bright green, covering small areas and consisting of tiny squamules that branch into somewhat moniliform threads.
Psoroglaena spinosa was formally described by the lichenologists Gothamie Weerakoon and André Aptroot in 2016. The type specimen was collected in the Sinharaja Forest Reserve in Sri Lanka on 15 February 2015.[2]
